MTB cycling 9:00 [1]
MTB to the Pioneer Cemetery.
orienteering 3:39 [2] ***
5c
A mini-course on the Pioneer Cemetery map that Mary designed for me.
MTB cycling 3:00 [1]
MTB to the start for the course at the engineering building.
orienteering 14:00 [2] ***
16c
This was the course that I designed for Mary a couple of weeks ago and was on a 1:2000 scale enlarged map.
The construction area along Naismith had changed a bit. I could see, but couldn't get to control 6. The construction zone also meant that going from 6-7 was a good 750 meters instead of 50.
It seemed like it was starting to feel a bit warm at this point, especially in the sun.

MTB to Spooner Hall with a little bit of a detour.
orienteering 8:00 [2] ***
8c
A course on the Spooner Hall map that Mary designed. I noticed a couple of changes that need to get made on the map (mostly some new sidewalk construction).
The climb for the last two legs was a bit draining. When I finished, I took a break of a few minutes to sit in the shade on the steps of Spooner Hall and drink some water.

Biking to the start of the next section that began just west of the Chi O fountain.
MTB Orienteering 11:30 [1] ***
5c
MTB orienteering course that I designed this morning. I decided that I would try to take each control and then do a 180 to get going on the next leg - that maximized the stopping and starting.
I took a brief break when the course passed Mom's house and she and Ron were outside. I said hello and chatted a bit. Then I finished the course.

Biking from the end of the MTBO section back to Pioneer Cemetery.

4c
Another mini sprint course that Mary designed. Fun, but I was feeling the heat.
Stood in the shade a few minutes and walked a little after I was done to cool off a bit.

MTB cycling 7:00 [1]
Biking home.
This was a fun session (but a lot of stuff to log on AP). The orienteering training felt useful, even if it wasn't very much. Biking made it easy to carry plenty of water and made it easy to connect the 4 different maps without spending much time.

MTB cycling 45:00 [1]
MTB on the river trails. I was surprised to arrive at the parking lot and there was only one other car (and it was someone fishing, judging by the trailer).
It felt good to ride and the trail was in good shape.
A highlight was spotting a pileated woodpecker. Every time I see them they are flying away and I don't get a very good look. It'd be fun to get a better look at one.

Ran some legs from last weekend's course, but in reverse order.
I also stopped for a break on the leg by the Dole Center and found the brick with Dad's name on it. That was kind of cool:

Work commute. Pretty annoying day. Was on the agenda for the City Commission meeting, but that got deferred. Not until 10:45 p.m., so I still had to wait around City Hall for 5 hours and then didn't get to present.

Also, some nonsense from management:

running 1:30:00 [2]
Jog on the trails at Clinton State Park. We parked by the beach. The trails were fine despite the recent wet weather. The sun was behind clouds and that kept the temp reasonable (82F when we finished), but it was humid.
I didn't see any MTBers or runners, which is unusual. I saw 10 hikers (in 4 groups).
I carried the current version of the map and looked at it occasionally.
I ran the last 15 minutes or so with Mary. That was fun.

MTB cycling 1:00:00 [1]
My plan was to ride the river trails once Mary left for her drive to St Louis.
But, just as she left, it started raining. I checked the traffic cams and weather radar and it was clear that the trails were getting more rain than was falling at home. So, I changed my plans. I waited an hour or so. If the sun had come out, I figured the trail would dry. But, the sun didn't come out, so I went out on my MTB on the paved bike path.
