Event: DVOA Hibernia County Park
 

Ride from home to Hibernia. Started cool but warmed up quite a bit - ditched my jacket early on.

Happy to be able to ride out to Hibernia for this o-event; my first in a long time. Nav was smooth enough, but a few issues where the woods were just way too full to have any visibility. I left 8 in a poor direction, and hit some incredibly thick woods that turned me around. 12 and 13 were inappropriately located in an area that had just been logged. They didn't mess me up too bad, but there was no need to put controls there when there is so much more for the park to offer. I finished cut up, bloodied, and covered in burrs.

Ride home afterwards. Body is tired from the recent workouts, this was a real struggle. Kept looking for easier gears on the ride up Boot Rd., but I was all out! Hardly made it home - legs need some good rest before this weekend.

Red - Splits

MTB riding with flats at Harmony Hill and Sawmill Rd. The trails at Sawmill are much too technical for this experiment; it was incredibly frustrating and exhausting.

Another hard run at Myrick. Finally got myself sorted out to the point that I wasn't lost. Sounds like Noah's school will be back to regular hours on Monday, so I'll have time for a longer run as well as exploring here more.

Hard run at Stroud, with an added huge hill. My breathing did not like the extra effort at the start.

Hard run to beat the rain at the Myrick Center. Carried a map, but still got turned around in a few places.
