Event: EMPO - Five Rivers Environmental Education Center
 

Green course (longest offered) at Five Rivers*, EMPO local meet. Temp in upper 50s to around 60 by the time I finished, but then it got cooler as a front came in with some showers as we were leaving.

Frank (fpb) did his best to take us to different locations at this often-used area, without going back and forth across the map too much. Some map expansion added a new area in the northeast portion. SL 5.9 km per the map, but my FR measured over 8 km, so maybe it was a bit longer. No significant climb except into and out of the stream beds.

I did have significant trouble on number 4 (partly my fault, and partly because I think it was placed wrong...but we'll see on that), and a short detour on the wrong trail to 15, but otherwise tried to stay close to beelines, so maybe the SL distance was understated.

Saw Brenan (bct) at 4, and had a bit of help going in to the bags after seeing him exit 5 and 7, and approaching from different angles on 11. He ran away from me after 12, though. :-)

*This is where I did my very first orienteering courses 23 years ago, so I have fond memories of the place even though it's a relatively easy map (compared to, say, Moreau, or Bear Brook in NH).

Event: (Cancelled) Harriman Relay and Club Festival
 

Ophthalmologist appt this am, follow up to previous visits. No changes, which is great.

Eyes are dilated, so it's hard to see to do much and (now that the clouds have moved off) much too bright to enjoy the warm moist breeze outside. :(

Using bands. Some muscles seem to have noticed the different workout today, but not in a bad way. :-)

Leg presses, adductors and pulldowns; nothing else today.

A "make-up" class during a normal break week. She had to reschedule the day her mom got a hip replacement...which seems to be coming along just fine (although "little Mommy" hasn't been in attendance yet).

From Olivia's Overlook in Lenox. North on trail to Monk's Pond, then south and across Lenox Road to the new Brothers trail and back to parking. Glen ran (farther). Nice; sun was out (though I was on the east side of the ridge and mostly in shadows), about 50F.

No tools today. Some body weight stuff (pushups and other body lowering exercises) that I subbed in planks or overhead triceps (with weights). If I wasn't so conspicuous I'd substitute chest presses with weights for the push-ups, but I'd be the only one.

Listening to a podcast of Ask Me Another, which was entertaining as always.

At Sutherland Pond/Ooms Conservation Area in Chatham Center, with Glen. When we were getting ready to go it was nice and sunny, but when we got to the pond it had clouded over, so the breeze didn't feel as nice as it could have. Had to keep moving to stay warm enough. Lovely area with great views of the surrounding rolling hills and farmlands. Canada geese and some ducks on the pond, with other birds flitting around the minimal woodlands at this area.
