Course setting at Miami University Middletown.

Short on daylight. I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon, so it opened up the opportunity to check some control descriptions and check the honeysuckle. I do feel pretty crappy, though.

When the light had pretty much run out, I changed and rushed to Oxford for a planning meeting for next weekend's course setting clinic---I'm pretty excited about it, but we've got a lot of charts to make and a lot of exercises to plan.

Brown course at Miami-Whitewater. Looks like over six minutes of this was recorded at zone zero, which means the HRM lost signal---I was not going that slow. I fixed it here, but the QR maybe will show the dropouts.

I missed the early start "dry" part of the day, and instead got completely soaking wet. It wasn't cold unless you stopped. To paraphrase a woman who sat in the cube next to mine many years ago, "Praise the Lord for wicking fabrics!" Not because they wick when they're soaking wet, but because they dont get heavy.

I had so much fun. I'm really glad there was a short advanced course, rather than Orange. I took a far right route on 6-7 because it had very little climb compared to anything else. Not sure it was a good idea, but it repeated part of a leg that I set a few years ago, and I got to do it at a race pace, something I didn't do when I set previously.

PIcked up a bunch of controls in two loops. It was neat to slow down in the badlands section and verify that the controls really were in the right spot. When I came through earlier in the day, several of them seemed wrong (something I realize happens a lot at race pace).

Afterwards went to eat with Mike, Jeremy, and Vladimir Z., then to the hospital to see my aunt. She's apparently getting an endo procedure done to repair an esphagus-to-stomach connection problem. She totally downplayed the seriousness, but it's still a little scary.

I got up early on Saturday to go to a visitation. I know 2 guys, a Dad and his son, in a ham radio club I'm in, and the wife slash mother had a sudden heart attack and never regained consciousness. Also kinda scary.

I effected an awesome repair to a kitchen sink hose for my nephew, and delivered it so I could watch movies. Saw Rare Exports (1), one I saw last winter---a scary Santa Claus movie---and Badder Santa (1), an apparent cult Christmas classic that I have somehow failed to see. Until now. It's sort of an anti-Christmas movie that somehow seems Christmas-y. (Very rated R).
