We drove from the orienteering to Mason City, Iowa, where we spent the night. In the morning, we did the walking tour of Prairie Style architecture in Mason City. It was a surprise and quite nice. If we'd known about it, we could have stayed in the hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Then we drove the rest of the way home. We stopped for lunch at a Maid-Rite near the Iowa-Missouri border. I ate the "loose meat sandwich" (it tastes better than it sounds). https://www.maidrite.com/

Green X - Splits

Event: MNOC Masters Nationals
 

Green X - Splits

A mix of walking and a little jogging. I did 20 minutes at a steady pace. This was at the model map. I figured out a few things that should help tomorrow.

Easy morning jog in the dark.

Morning jog.

I found an old photo:

After posting it, I'm wondering if I really ran the first leg. Maybe I did, but maybe not. I can't quite remember. Maybe Mikell ran first and I ran 2nd? Fuzzy memory.

I'm also wondering who took the photo. No idea.

It is fun to remember how much the WOC relay has changed. Back in the day, it was 4 legs with winning times of about an hour for each leg. While they had TV coverage in 1989, the course was not designed for TV coverage. These days a significant part of the course become essentially dead running. I like watching the TV coverage these days, but I miss the idea of a longer relay with four legs.

Another nice morning jog. Another day with cool enough weather to justify a light jacket.

I mowed the lawn after work. Might be the last time this year? Or maybe once more.
