Adams Creek map, Brown C Middle course, straight line 2.9, 75m climb

Excellent challenge, vegetation a bit reminiscent of Lynn Woods in CSU land. Rain just before start made my glasses useless (but I can see distance okay and had a magnifier for the map), so the plan was to stay slow enough to read the map and simplify. I did that consciously for the longer legs; shorter legs were more 'check compass and go.' Biggest error was on 10, I let myself be distracted (relocated from 12) and a smaller error on 13 as I skirted the edge of the clearing before seeing that the reentrant was still back in the woods. Good enough for 3rd F55 and 2nd NA! Lots of folks had bigger problems today than I did. (AP split analysis says just under 2 minutes of error.)

Walked from parking in the big field near the river at Dingman's Campground to the bus pickup (timed on my FR), then estimated time from bus dropoff to arena (to drop off dry clothes for after) and from there to start.

No rain until just before we started...

Pilates using bands. Several newbie guys in class (one younger; one older), but it's mostly women of all shapes, sizes, and ages (with strong abs!).

Hill interval level 3 until my feet objected (leg muscles are fine with this). 1.15 mi

Adductors and pulldowns

And a spin around the track because I didn't do my whole planned elliptical workout.

Event: EMPO - Cole Hill
 

Event: Chinatown Street Scramble
 

Event: HVO: Ward Pound Ridge
 

In San Francisco area for a meet-up with online quilting friends (met each other through an online listserv re:quilting in the late 90s and have had a number of get-togethers since). I discovered that Get Lost!! was organizing a Street Scramble on the Sarurday and asked if any of the attendees would want to join me on a team to try out the urban scavenger hunt. The two ladies visiting from Perth, Australia, were quite game, and two others (one from Austin TX, one from Victoria, BC) also joined as teams could have up to 5 members. Our priority was not to collect the most points; we just wanted to have fun, and were very successful at that. We found 9 checkpoints and (I presume) answered all the multiple choice questions properly.

Preliminary Results (we were the Intrepid Magpies International team)

C • chinatown 5

GhettoTrack (as iansmith calls it), since my FR battery died before I could use it.

Our route, for the most part (clockwise from park at Powell and John Streets; we went down one or two alleys/walkways not included in the Gmap application), with a stop at the Starbucks at Clay and Battery. :-)
