Event: OCIN Flying Pig XXII
4 PM
Orienteering race (Red Middle) 1:03:21 [3] 3.29 mi (19:15 / mi) +564ft 16:34 / mi
slept:8.0 shoes: Salomon Speedcross (2017-Navy)
Red middle-distance course at Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park in Hamilton, OH.
Lost time at #1 (headed into the woods too soon; slowed way down before I got totally lost), #3 (very tentative on the steep embankment at stream crossing and then fighting through thick woods; I should have headed to the yellow area sooner), and #4 (bizarre brain failure on the easy / obvious route choice). Small errors leaving #9 & #12 in a dumb / inefficient direction. Got very disoriented and stood still for a while on my way to #14 (it took me a minute to realize the Stonehenge-like sculptures were mapped as boulders rather than black X's like all the other sculptures -- although I guess that makes sense).
Cold & overcast but pleasant enough once running -- it didn't start to rain / snow until I was back at my hotel. Going through all the sculpture areas as part of the course was fun.
I didn't eat much yesterday or today, so dinner ended up being PF Chang's takeout (kung pao shrimp) since I had a gift card to use, TWO beers (local Mad Tree kölsch, which tasted GREAT with the spicy food), chile-lime kettle chips, and a few spoonfuls of Brown Butter Bourbon Truffle ice cream from Kroger (luckily it didn't taste nearly as good as the name led me to believe, and it didn't stay frozen in the hotel room fridge, so I didn't eat much of it).
10 PM
Administration 2:00:00 [0]
I dragged my laptop AND a portable monitor to Cincinnati, with the intent of working for a half day this morning (to preserve some vacation time) and then doing lots of long-overdue RMOC catch-up work over the weekend. But then my laptop crashed / failed this morning ("corrupt boot sector"). $%&@(%^~!!! So I got a bare minimum of RMOC stuff done on the crappy, locked-down hotel computer.
