Setting a few tapes for UCMS O practice.

Warm up with the kids to start of today's courses at Mounds. Very light turnout, not unexpected due to known groundings and appointments. 7 from the middle school, 2 from the high school.

Event: OLOU Winter Sprint Series #5 and #6
 

OLOU "Steroid" sprint (longer) at Shawnee Park, designed by Bruce Moore. Very open, very flat park. The woods along the banks of the Ohio River had a few interesting controls, but the park could use a bit more woods. The flooded Ohio River was lapping at the stands of controls 11 and 12.

Lost probably 20 seconds turning on controls 3-19, after passing the first starters going in to 3. Lost another 7-10 seconds at 18, going the long way around a big tree before spotting the stand flat on the ground, then picking it up and trying to get it to stand up again. Alex was right behind me, and reported that it fell over again before he reached it, so he also set it back up.

At 20, Alex passed me to punch first, took 2 steps away, then had to turn around to re-punch after me, heeding my warning that they weren't turned on. After some hesitation getting out of the woods, he passed me again, beat me to 21, where I passed him again on the exit, vaulting a low fence while he ran to a gate. He edged me out to 20, but had enough had left in his young legs and lungs to leave me way in the dust on the run in, while I had to do a quick dodge-em to avoid bcomming a hood ornament.

OLOU "Regular" Sprint at Shawnee Park. Fun, but very open, easy and fast. Went the long way around the baseball field to 7, probably 15-20 seconds. Lost another 15-20 seconds at the control on the wrong single tree (8) after I circled the correct tree before looking over my shoulder. Grrr.

Event: OCIN / TROL #8 - Live Oaks
 

Live Oaks Career Campus. A fairly clean "run", although my pace felt like a plodding jogger. Definitely need to get more running training! Navigationally pretty clean, except blew about two minutes on 15 and maybe 15-20 seconds on 25. A runner's course; Aragorn and Mintore kicked my butt by 25% and would have been joined by Gheoghie, had he not mispunched. That's not a criticism of course setter cedarcreek - he made it as interesting and challenging as possible, but there is just so much open fast running on this map.

Miami Whitewater map updates.

Miami Whitewater. Continuing to update the MWW map.

Warm up and cool down, about 5 minutes each.

Ran the yellow course that the kids ran yesterday at Mounds. Should have been 24:50 but I actually made a 3 minute mistake over-running a control!
