Cycling 32:53 8.66 km (3:48 / km) +161m 3:28 / km
ahr:147 max:166 shoes: Sidi ATB
Quick ride through Sharon Woods plus a return through Sharonville for the long single hill climb back to home.
I researched bike saddles, and the main point was to just start off the year biking moderately and build tolerance. The current saddle has been good to me in the past, so I decided this was good advice. This second ride was much easier on the butt than the first.
Watched "The Grey" (1). I never suspected I might give this movie the (1). I was expecting something like "Taken", but believe it or not, I really liked this. It's got enough action to keep me interested, but enough art-movie cred to make me really enjoy it.

Event: OCIN FAST-O Hisey Park
5 PM
Orienteering race 38:10 2.91 km (13:06 / km) +71m 11:40 / km
ahr:148 max:182
"Forest" sprint at Hisey Park, set by Steve Vaughan. My first time on this map. Really interesting trail network on one of the hilltops. It was very "corn maze-y". I wimped out because of the heat and didn't run the "Field" sprint. I guessed there would be little shade, and I had walked *way too much* of the first one.
Watched the Grindhouse movies: Death Proof (1) and Planet Terror (1). Two fun movies in sort of a 70s drive-in style. The old theater graphics (like "Feature Presentation" and "Coming Prevues") brought back some old memories. The odd-ball splices and scratched film effects were just perfect, although it was a rare event for it to be as bad as this simulated it. Death Proof is just one weird movie, and Planet Terror is a crazy fun zombie movie.

Sprint at Fort St. Clair in Eaton, OH. I wrote this on Saturday:
Courses by Jon Rauschenbach. A really nice event with some minor weather-caused inconveniences: I had two closed roads on the drive to Eaton, then two minor closures *in* Eaton. Plus, the park was closed. The park said they wouldn't open the gates, but we were free to run the event from the exit area parking lot. This meant a 1km walk to the start, and back from the finish. So everyone was taking 2 dibbers and 2 maps and they planned to just do two courses then walk back to download. We decided to leave the clear and check at the parking area, but after 2 people forgot and had to walk the 1km back, we just decided to just carry the computer, the printer milk crate, and 3 batteries to the event center. I didn't mention we needed batteries because the power was out. I found out my cheap woods backpack can carry the monster two battery assembly without ripping, and we split up the load so it wasn't a terrible burden. Everything was out of the woods 3 1/2 hours ago and as I type this the severe thunderstorms are hitting the park. So---it was awesome.
Finished The Storm: What Went Wrong and Why During Hurricane Katrina--the Inside Story from One Louisiana Scientist, by Ivor van Heerden.
I've gotten several books about DIY Drones. If I can get my nephew interested, I'm gonna try to make one that takes low-level ortho photos of parks for orienteering.
