Hiking 30:00 [2]
A shorter than normal walk through Wash Park. There's nothing like being on a 2-hour conference call that starts at 6:00 am. On a Saturday! And then spending the rest of the day working on an "emergency" project for the boss. No fun. :-(

Note
Flew to Tampa, FL, with an inordinate number of screaming children. I was very glad for that flight to be over.

Orienteering race 1:24:24 [3] 5.3 km (15:55 / km) +176m 13:39 / km
RMOC meet at Frisco Peninsula -- Green course (6.4 km Forerunner distance)
This was an epic trip, but not for the orienteering, which was fine. Not a very inspiring course, but I think that might be a difficult task now that most of the peninsula is logged and wide open. A couple of superfluous up's and down's...could have been more interesting, but it was nice to get out on a map. Plus, I only fell once which was a pretty good feat considering how much logged area we went through.
I was a little off on #4 and #10, but only by a few seconds. Otherwise, it was a pretty clean course, which it should have been since it was so open.
Now for the epic part. The estimated travel time to Frisco from my house, according to Google maps, was about 1 1/2 hours, which is about what it took me to get there. All good. On the way home, though, I hit traffic about 2 miles east of Frisco and was in stop and go traffic for the next 40!! miles. It took me 2.5 hours to go that distance. And when I saw what was causing this colossal backup, I said quite a few bad words. It was a zip-line facility that was right next to I-70. You could see all of the towers from the highway, and the people zipping along. As soon as we passed that, the traffic opened up and it took me 1/2 an hour to make the rest of the trip. OMG!
