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.

Orienteering race 40:15 [3] *** 3.35 km (12:02 / km) +37m 11:24 / km
Longish sprint at England-Idlewild, set by Stephanie Ross and Ben Hart. It was really hot, about 100F. The humidity was supposedly 31%, but it felt just plain hot. I ran a tiny bit, but walked hard most of the time.
Really fun course with some neat legs.
Afterwards, we ate at a place in Burlington and had an OCIN member's meeting.
