Event: NEOC: Great Brook Farm
Event: Ottawa O-Fest 2013
10 AM
Orienteering race 1:24:03 [3] 9.08 km (9:16 / km) +143m 8:35 / km
NOD @Great Brook Farm SP, thanks to Tim Parson & NEOC. Lots of people there. Decent run, B+ anyway. Red was 7.1k and 21c so a bit long - scale was 1/7500. Remember the days when I hoped courses would be around 10k for a better chance at Steve Tarry.
Feet thoroughly wet on way to #3 - no way to avoid. Felt like #5 wasn't quite where it was supposed to be. Lost maybe 1' @ 12, 45" @ 18, 45" @ 19, 1.5' on way to & @ 21. Best for me around 80'. Missed splits 13, 15, 18, 19.
Marvelous coincidence: saw a fellow orienteering with four Corgis.
A form of Four-O - if there ever was one.
After drove along Curve & Fiske harking back to good old days, all ghosts today. Walked the perimeter of the Fiske property as Beth & I used to do.
The garden was overgrown, the old shed still there - neglected, half hidden by vegetation. We wrapped a VW Beetle up alongside it on an October eve in 1984 - left it there for the winter when we went away. I'm nostalgia prone, Beth very little if at all.

shoes: Nike Lunarglide 3
Stumpfield loop, CCW. Cool enough around 3p, plenty of shade. Have not done this in a long time. Haven't even run 5 mi in too long. Glad to see the barn. Felt good about doing it though. More to come.

Walking 30:00 [1] 1.5 mi (20:00 / mi)
Just walking - to slough in am & along WH road with Beth & dogs in pm. We re-stained the paintball-defaced kiosk at the end of the road. Also picked up trash in the "shooting gallery" field.
2 O meets this weekend for a change. Local, too.

Trail/woods running 48:54 4.0 mi (12:14 / mi)
shoes: Nike Lunarglide 3
SPS wander late pm on a delightfully cool day. I think it was the first frost of the new season this morning. Went down the bike path, along the shore of Turkey Pond & back thru campus & XC woods. Saw lots of XC kids out.
Also one lovely image of a guy fishing on a pane of blue glass with splendid background. He was fishing from a motionless canoe (with electric motor on back) - long gray beard and hair and wide brimmed cap.
Considerable wood hauling & splitting as well.
Beth's bird feeder & bear (from a few weeks ago)

Event: NEOC: Elm Park
Walking 30:00 [1] 1.0 mi (30:00 / mi)
Ashore Graffam I - and a trail leading away from the pier. Thought it might go around the island but it led to a small cabin by an attractive clearing & a much larger cabin at the top of a large grassy field - both not used in years. Nice place for a party. Splendid day weatherwise & Milky Way last night was well worth a ponder. Still no running inclination.
