Event: ROC - Rochester Map Adventure 2014

8 AM

Walking (Dog walk) 38:00 [1] 2.0 mi (19:00 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Took the dogs around the big block before leaving for the Map Adventure, because they'll be alone for quite a while today.

12 PM

Walking 30:00 [1] 1.5 mi (20:00 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Strolling around a bit during the Roch. Map Adventure. Hoped to get some shots of people doing the course, but by the time I got out, it was really too late to expect to find anyone that close to the start. Discovered to my dismay that the Main St bridge over the river was closed! They had a crane there clearing a log jam out of the river. And the closure barely included where one of the controls was, but it was possible to get to the control without drawing the ire of the workers guarding the bridge, it appeared.

Walking (Dog walk) 39:51 [1] 2.0 mi (19:55 / mi) +6ft 19:52 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Decided to give the dogs a break and only go 2 miles this morning. Nice morning, barely warm enough to go with a tee shirt.

Walking (Dog walk) 1:09:15 [1] 3.55 mi (19:30 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

8 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 51:27 [1] 2.48 mi (20:46 / mi) +6ft 20:43 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Twilight walk with the dogs. Counting about 2 miles of unlogged walks (a 1-mile walk and two half-mile walks), these doggies have put in 8 miles today. Not bad, especially for 12-year-old Homer.

Wednesday May 28, 2014 #

Walking (Dog walk) 40:42 [2] 1.36 mi (30:02 / mi) +195ft 26:26 / mi

shoes: Montrail Mt Masochist Mar 2011

Walk/run on the HJ trail with trailsnail. Started by alternating 1 min running with 1 min walking but she said that was too wimpy so she insisted on doing 1.5 min running and 1 min walking.

C • but 1

7 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 1:04:16 [1] 3.14 mi (20:30 / mi) +11ft 20:25 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Twilight dog walk, around the big block and into Finn Park a ways. Homer seems much perkier today than yesterday (although he still dawdles relative to Hanna's preferred pace).

Tuesday May 27, 2014 #

9 AM

Walking (Dog walk) 23:49 [1] 1.08 mi (22:03 / mi) +6ft 21:56 / mi
shoes: Montrail Mt Masochist Mar 2011

Walk with the dogs. Intended to go longer but Homer was dawdling pretty badly so I decided not to push him too much. I think he's finally showing his age (12, we think).

10 AM

Pickleball 1:15:00 [3]

Outdoor pickleball at Stoney Point courts. Hadn't planned on playing but I got a call from Paul saying they had only 7 people there (the worst number that you can have, since it gives 1 full court playing and 3 people sitting out). So I got wrangled into playing even though I really hadn't planned on it and didn't feel quite up to it either. I played pretty bad at first, then slowly got a bit better but never played great.

8 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 38:45 [1] 2.07 mi (18:44 / mi) +5ft 18:42 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Only walked with Hanna tonight! Started out with both dogs as usual, but Homer seemed to be limping pretty badly, so I almost immediately brought him home, for Cheryl to take on a much shorter walk. At a couple of points in the walk, Hanna seemed a bit puzzled as to why we were going for a one-dog walk, which I don't think has happened before.

Monday May 26, 2014 #

9 AM

Tennis 30:00 [1]

Webster Park, with Cheryl. We're both signed up for tennis lessons starting in a few weeks, so we decided to get out ahead of time and work on ingraining our bad habits. :) My forehand isn't too bad, but my backhand, which was halfway decent many decades ago when I used to play tennis semi competently, was pretty bad.

10 AM

Pickleball 55:00 [2]

Webster Park. Quite windy, to the point of being barely enjoyable to play.

2 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 51:33 [0] 2.53 mi (20:22 / mi) +15ft 20:16 / mi
shoes: Montrail Mt Masochist Mar 2011

Over to Finn Park, to the creek, and back.

I hosed them off pretty well before we went out, and then of course they were delighted to take a dip in the creek. Then they were hosed off once again after getting home!

GPS was very stubborn about getting a signal today, for some reason. Took about half a mile (= about 10 minutes).

8 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 41:43 [1] 2.09 mi (19:57 / mi) +3ft 19:56 / mi
shoes: Montrail Mt Masochist Mar 2011

Late evening walk with the doggies, around the big block, while Cheryl and trailsnail were slugs watching a movie on our TV. :)

Got to meet our new neighbor at #408 (a young man and his roommate) and his dog, a lab/pit bull mix which both of our dogs interacted with quite civilly, No barking, growling, or snarling from any of the three dogs.

Sunday May 25, 2014 #

2 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 33:25 [1] 1.25 mi (26:41 / mi) +82ft 25:08 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

We drove down to Bristol Mt, to the area of the summit center, planning on taking the dogs for a walk on the XC trails. But there was major activity up there, as this is, I believe, the first weekend that the rope adventure course (which is headquartered at the summit center) is open. So we decided not to go on the trails or anywhere near the rope adventure area. We walked down the dirt road which is an extension of South Hill Rd, and came across some very impressive houses being built.

Friday May 23, 2014 #

11 AM

Walking (Dog walk) 58:00 [1] 2.76 mi (21:00 / mi)

shoes: Salomon hiking boots

2 PM

Pickleball 1:15:00 [2]

Drop in play at the Rec Center. The cold I had was fairly intense but fortunately also fairly short-lived. I felt pretty much recovered by the time for pickleball so I decided to play.

8 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 49:39 [1] 2.32 mi (21:23 / mi) +8ft 21:19 / mi
shoes: Montrail Mt Masochist Mar 2011

2 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 42:42 [1] 2.19 mi (19:31 / mi) +6ft 19:28 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Around the big block, with a short excursion into Finn Park. Had a pretty bad cold last night and this morning -- was a total slug all morning which was too bad because the weather was nice. Still don't feel great but good enough to walk the dogs and get outside for a little bit at least.

8 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 51:15 [1] 2.52 mi (20:20 / mi) +16ft 20:13 / mi
shoes: Salomon hiking boots

Twilight dog walk, over to Finn Park, across the field, stopping for a dip in the stream, and back.

11 AM

Walking 2:21:24 [1] 8.03 mi (17:37 / mi) +146ft 17:19 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Doing a 2+ hour version of the Roch. Map Adventure to see how things looked from a competitor's point of view.

Found one major issue -- a particular control (which I really liked, a bit of interesting history) was gone! The historical marker had vanished.

I got to 28 controls, counting the one that had disappeared. I am sure I could have done better with some better strategy. Spent too much fairy unproductive time in an area where the controls weren't that close together and missed an opportunity to have focused on a higher density area. But I still viewed this as positive, that someone not running at all, not choosing an optimum strategy, and not using the full 3 hours (much less 5 hours), could get 28 controls. Hopefully this means that most people will find the event reasonably satisfying in terms of being able to get to a decent number of controls, even for those who are doing it on foot, walk the whole way, and choose the shorter time category.

1 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 15:47 [1] 0.79 mi (20:02 / mi) +9ft 19:49 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Shorter than normal early afternoon dog walk, because I was a bit leg-weary from the 8 miles of urban walking I had just gotten back from.

9 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 38:30 [1] 1.83 mi (21:00 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Dog walk, after dark this time. Over to Finn Park, back to the parking lot, and return. Totally cloudy so no stellar objects visible, unfortunately.

Monday May 19, 2014 #

9 AM

Walking (Dog walk) 53:00 [1] 2.76 mi (19:12 / mi) +13ft 19:07 / mi
shoes: Salomon hiking boots

Over to Finn Park and around the field, with a stop at the creek, now much lower than a couple of days ago.

Lawn mowing 25:00 [1]

3 PM

Pickleball 1:30:00 [2]

Indoors, at the Rec Center. Although outdoors would have been quite nice as well -- reasonable temperature, virtually no wind.

8 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 41:29 [1] 2.02 mi (20:30 / mi) +3ft 20:28 / mi
shoes: Montrail Mt Masochist Mar 2011

Twilight dog walk around the big block. Hoped to see some stars come out, but I must have left too early, because all I could see at the end were Jupiter and Mars.

Saturday May 17, 2014 #

3 PM

Lawn mowing 45:00 [1]

Front lawn was very much out of control, so although I'd rather have been playing pickleball, I decided the priority really should be mowing. Especially since I think there may be rain again tomorrow ... I set the mower on the 2nd to the highest setting, due to the height of the grass.

9 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 1:00:00 [1] 3.0 mi (20:00 / mi)

Actually, dog walks, plural. Rough estimate of a mid-morning walk and a late-evening walk, both over to Finn Park, as far as the parking lot, and back. Approximately 1.5 mile round trip each.

7 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 48:52 [1] 2.52 mi (19:23 / mi) +16ft 19:16 / mi
shoes: Salomon hiking boots

Walk at dusk, over to Finn Park, across the field, and to the creek. Wanted to check out how high the creek was -- it's definitely kayakable!! Hanna was daring enough to wade in a bit, Homer stayed totally out, which is a bit surprising considering that Homer seems to, in general, like water more than Hanna. There was a metal footbridge across the creek at the point where we hit it, which is now washed away. Not too far, looks like it's a few feet downstream of where it had been, but it's upside down and definitely off of where it was mounted.

10 AM

Orienteering 1:04:23 [2] 3.96 mi (16:16 / mi) +153ft 15:41 / mi
shoes: Montrail Mt Masochist Mar 2011

Green course at Oatka. Lost quite a bit of time hunting for #4. (Lost about 5 minutes according to AP split analysis, although I think maybe a minute of that was due to sub-optimum route choice coupled with going slow on my way to the area of the control.)

1 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 36:19 [1] 2.0 mi (18:11 / mi) +5ft 18:08 / mi

shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Nice morning, pleasant already by 8 am. I wore shorts and a long-sleeve medium weight shirt, and I was definitely overdressed. Short sleeves would have been better attire.

Over to Finn Park, with a stop for a dip in the creek for the dogs.

Pickleball 1:20:00 [2]

Wednesday May 7, 2014 #

11 AM

Pickleball 25:00 [3]

Only one game, but a "real" game -- competitive, with good players. Harry and Tom vs Len and me. Different Tom than normal (I think he's a racketball convert, very good court coverage even though he's not a youngster, maybe a little younger than me) and different Len than normal.

1 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 45:55 [1] 2.41 mi (19:03 / mi) +13ft 18:57 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

To the creek in Finn Park and back. GPS once again was balky at getting going.

shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Longish walk at dusk with the dogs, around the big block, with a little extra distance thrown in. This brings the mileage for the dogs today up to around 6 miles (counting a couple that Cheryl took them on), and mine to a little more than 9. Should do this every day.

Sunny, low 50's, but very windy, so not the most pleasant of days.

Saturday May 3, 2014 #

2 PM

Pickleball 55:00 [1]

First pickleball in 2+ weeks, since broken rib. I played on the beginners' court, by my request, as I didn't want to play with much intensity. It was nice hitting the ball again, and I'm glad I didn't try playing sooner, and I'm glad that I played on the beginners' court and played for less than an hour. I felt OK but I definitely felt it in my rib area a couple of times when I hustled a bit or stretched for a shot.

I'd say I'm at least a week away from playing any competitive pickleball.
