Ft Leavenworth Adventures BingO event. You got a random bingo card at the start and had options to make an x on the card, fill three sides (a U), or fill the card. I decided to fill the card. There were around 30 controls out, but a filled card had just 23, so there was some random luck in which controls you had. I think the planned it to make filling any card take a similar distance.

We used the Adventure Race map, which is ok, but needs a few tweaks. I should make some changes and create a new map for the next season (which starts in August, I think).

I had to bash around in some poison ivy on one control and on a couple of the trail runs.

It felt ok running, but the temp was climbing and there was some sun. I got a bit dehydrated by the end and it took most of the day to start feeling rehydrated.

After the orienteering, we went to visit Aunt Kathleen at the Benedictine Convent in Clyde. It was a good visit.

MTB on the roads/bike paths with a little bit of exploring at the Arbo.

I saw Mary twice. First, when she was at the track getting ready to do some sprint training. Second, when I was near home and she was driving. She said she was on the way to buy some DVDs for the nuns.

To work but not home. I left my bike at Sunflower for a tune-up. They're busy and don't think it'll be ready till May 31 (which seems kind of disappointing...oh well).

Met Mary at Sunflower and we had dinner at Limestone Pizza (a place on Mass that Mary hadn't been to before). Dinner was good.

Work commute. Pleasant weather.

Mississippi Street is closed just south of 11th St. That's a bit inconvenient.

Grocery store run. I saw the Mayor and his wife at the store. I bought some cookies.

Work commute. Light rain in the morning was pleasant. Lawrence is feeling quiet with the university students gone.

When I got home I was a bit annoyed with some stuff from work. That's unusual for me. But, it also left me feeling unmotivated.

I watched some Bo Jackson highlight videos on youtube. That motivated me a bit and I went to the basement to row, row.

Easy trail run with a map at the Perry bike trails. The map was 2006 lidar run through KP + OSM paths. I added the paths using Strava heat map data.

It was interesting to see how well the trails fit. They fit pretty well. There were a couple of places where a bit more detail (bends in trails) would be good. And trail junctions weren't as clear in the heat map data as in the terrain. But overall the trails from Strava heat map data were pretty good.

Went to Perry with Mary and Sandy. They ran together about half the time. Sandy hadn't been there before and liked the area.
