cycling 35:00 [1]
Biking to/from the O' training with a little bit extra.
orienteering 20:00 ***
26c
I ran 4 short (from 170m to 232m) courses on the new map of the area around Lindley Hall. The map is very close to finished.
The course printing wasn't great and I think that was why I skipped a control on the 3rd loop. Or maybe it was because my mind wandered a little.
The map is really small but there's plenty going on. There are three buildings to make for left/right route choices. The map is on a hillside with about 15 meters of climb from the low to high point. There are a bunch of boulders, too.

I rolled around on the bike path. I felt pretty good. The sun wasn't very intense (maybe some of that Candian fire smoke?) and the temp was declining.

Note
Mary's out of town. My routine gets messed up when Mary's not here. So, I'm taking a day off when I'd initially planned to bike/run. I still worked up a good sweat by mowing the lawn. The recent rain and sun meant the grass must have grown a bunch in the last 1.5 days. The lawn looks a lot better now.

A sweaty jog on West Campus. Felt ok, but I'm kind of tired.

cycling 45:00 [1]
Biking to/from my campus mapping project 2x.
I spent an hour on the map in the worst of the heat, then went back out in the early evening and did another hour.
The project is a really small map (probably print scale of 1:1250). The area is 0.015 square kilometers. It is around Lindley Hall. They've recently completed two new buildings south and west of Lindley and east of Naismith. It should make an interesting little area for mini-orienteering. Part of what makes the area interesting are the boulders. They've placed about 30 boulders between the buildings. Each boulder has a sign next to it with some details about the rock, how old it is, and where it was from. The most exotic boulder being a basalt column from Inner Mongolia.
My base map is lidar, but from before construction + a plan of the area that I photographed. I'm having to redraw a bunch of the contours because the construction changed a lot of the hillside.
I've done all of the field work with OOM on a tablet (an old Kindle). I've got some drafting left, but I should be able to finish that up tomorrow.
Also, Mary and I explored the area yesterday, including wandering around inside of the largest of the new buildings. It would make a nice indoor orienteering venue.
