orienteering 1:18:44 6.78 mi (11:37 / mi)
ahr:145 max:165 21c
Fort Leavenworth Adventure "Gobbler Orienteer" event. The course was a score course. Fun.
The course didn't get into the woods much.
My legs got tired after about 53 minutes. I think running in the deep grass yesterday got me a little worn out.
Nice running conditions.
The turnout was a little lower than normal. I guess the holiday had something to do with that. Two of the Leavenworth regulars mentioned planning to go to the next PTOC event. It'd be cool if we started getting more cross-over from Ft Lev.
Callahan was way ahead of me (maybe 70 minutes?).

orienteering 1:20:00 [2]
I jogged around and picked up 7 controls from the course Mary set at Clinton State Park. It was fun.
Clinton State Park has some junky woods. I took routes that took me through some of that junk, but I just walked through when it got rough. I didn't push at all.
I seemed to be having some trouble reading some detail on the map. Maybe the rain. Maybe the map scale and printing. Maybe my eyes.
Light rain for some of the last 15-20 minutes.

MTB cycling 1:15:00 [1]
Mix of single track on the Branch Trail and bike paths. Just over 40 minutes of single track.
When I left a light rain was falling. I checked the weather service and the temp was 33F with "unknown precipitation." I was a little worried there could be some icy spots.
I got the clothing almost perfect. I wore a long sleeve shirt + old REI primaloft jacket + old TNF softshell jacket. On my legs I had fleece lined cycling tights. A light hat was just right. My only problem was that my toes got a little cold after I'd been out an hour.
I biked the single track. The ground was a little wet. I decided to bike until I got tired/bored, the bike started leaving ruts in the trail, or the trail got slippery. The trail got a little slippery and that was when I finished.
The trail has had a little use since I last rode. That was good to see. It looked like someone had used a leave blower to clear some of the leaves from the trail. Someone has also marked parts of the trail with orange flags.
I didn't see anyone else out biking.

Note
Went for a walk in the cold rain at Baker Wetlands. The rain was steady, but not heavy. It was nice to be out and moving around.

running 45:00 [2]
A foggy headlamp jog on trails on West Campus. The fog was nice. It felt exotic. I took it easy and shuffled along at a slow pace.

running 1:20:00 [2]
I ran/shuffled on the trails from Clinton overlook. My lack of trail running showed - I stumbled and was slow in the rocky areas.
Sunny and warm-ish. Lots of people out. I only saw two MTB riders and one runner, but I saw a bunch of hikers.
I'd planned a longer run. But I got going a bit late as I spent a bunch of time this morning drinking coffee and working on my class. Then I cut the run a bit short so I wouldn't be late to help Pam hang a painting at her new house.
