Event: EMPO Ski-O Pineridge XC
10 AM
Walking (Roads) 30:00 [3] 2.0 mi (15:00 / mi)
slept:8.0 shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 #6 - H
To MB center (what I call it, anyway; a mile from home) and back.
We decided not to go to Pineridge today; Glen has a cold (day 3) and I'm still not running so wouldn't find the score-O snowshoe much fun (even if it would be good nav practice).
Cloudy and mid 30s with impending snow/sleet predicted for tonight.

Note
Travel day. Sad to leave sunny 60s but Tucson's weather report was going to change later this week. Drove home from airport in rain, sleet, snow, and sometimes all three at once. ;-) Driveway is a bit icy now but barely any accumulation. Much of the yard-snow is gone too leaving plowed piles and place in shadow with remnant snow.
One exciting bump during the flight's descent into Hartford but I was already holding on for dear life during some turbulence so didn't move much (arms and legs wrapped around seat as much as possible). Mostly just jolting everyone awake. :-)

Orienteering race (Brown "classic") 38:15 [3] *** 3.34 km (11:27 / km) +54m 10:36 / km
spiked:7/7c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #3
Yay--a decent race finally. Straight line distance was 2.6 km. ...Okay, part of it was yellow level controls and we only had 7 total, but there were some good advanced legs too. 1st on F-Brown today because Diana had a mental wander to number 3, taking 41 minutes on a leg that took me 10:32. She won 6 of 8 splits (incl run-in), and with a clean #3 and no other changes would have been 4+ minutes ahead of me. :-) Oh, to have been jogging....
EDIT: Added FR track. I had Sue Dekany ahead of me and mostly in sight from 3 to the finish, which helped on the distinct tree control (6). She didn't run much either.

Orienteering 27:00 [2] *** 2.12 km (12:44 / km) +33m 11:49 / km
spiked:3/3c shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #3
After we were both back from our courses, I took Glen's green course map and went out to do the first three controls (his #3 was my #2, but from a different direction) for practice in the detailed area of the course. He took my brown map and did the whole thing (14 minutes faster than I did). I was able to switch scales from 1:7500 to 1:10000 without any problem.
I started shortly after Mike Lyons' group and they were going about my speed and on the same course, so I stopped my watch on the way to 1 and sat down on a rock for a few minutes to let them get ahead. This was supposed to be orienteering practice, not following practice. :-)

Note
Visited the Romero ruins which were the out of bounds area my course circled from 3-5 (map later). Indian (Hohokan) settlement from about 500-1200 AD or beyond; ranched in the 1800s. Didn't see much beyond some walls and descriptive signs. And two giant saguaros plus a bunch of smaller cacti.

Orienteering race (Brown middle) 29:53 [3] ** 2.81 km (10:38 / km) +16m 10:21 / km
spiked:8/10c slept:7.0 shoes: Jala Jukola Spider 6 #3
At Catalina, temps in 60sF. Much better today, maybe because 2/3rds of the course was white/yellow level. :-) Because there wasn't much climb I tried to push speed (as much as one can when not jogging/running). Drifted a bit left on the few (advanced) controls in the hillier part of the map but otherwise happy about the course. Now to incorporate all I've learned the past two days to have a successful "classic" course tomorrow. 2nd on F-Br and behind 2 or 3 of the men. Diana Hocking of GVOC VICO ([edited club] who was first, a minute ahead) sought me out and we chatted a bit afterwards. O.Kearney tried to introduce me to ClareD (smittyO). ;-) Talked a bit too with MelissaT. No wildlife today. I don't think I'm going to have a roadrunner sighting this trip either.
Sure is nice to soak up the warm sun! I hope spring comes soon around home.
EDIT: Added FR track, which showed less climb than advertised.

Hiking 1:32:52 [1] 5.13 km (18:06 / km) +120m 16:13 / km
shoes: Trail NB 704 8.5D
After "lunch" of granola bars, bananas and pretzels, we drove to the end of the road and took a hike on the canyon loop and up to Montrose Pools on the Romero Canyon trail. Lots of other folks enjoying this part of the park. Lots of sun. Stopped for frappuccinos afterward.
EDIT: Added FR track.
We had dinner at Noble Hops again but I didn't have as much food. The cheddar-beer soup is fabulous (we split a bowl today) and I tried their Rosemary Fromage artisan flat (very flat pizza-like dish; with two types of cheese and basil with crispy ham (bacon-like)) and rosemary-infused oil. Delicious!
