Event: QOC Pohick Bay
 

Actual 1.76 miles with 54 m climb

"Just" a yellow course, but this may be what I am limited to for the OCIN and GAOC A-meets, so I better adapt.

Second day in a row, so my butt was dragging today, especially with not getting out until 20 minutes before course closing time.

Another great turnout with 181 starts. Ran out of White, Yellow, Orange maps early, and then Brown when the Orange people started taking Brown maps. A surprisingly few number of DNF considering.

Out to look for a missing electronic control. I thought it was probably still tied to the tree, and since it was a water stop it wold have been easy to forget it.

The person who picked up that control was there ahead of me and looking at the tree he said the control had been tied up on. No control. So, we retraced his steps back to the trail and didn't find it.

Event: QOC Patuxent River 10K
 

A loop around part of the race course before timing duties started. Seemed sloppy to me but others were undeterred. Easily winded so I ran 2 walked 2 until I was done. Took three breaks to retie my shoes.

Race timing after was brutal with 20 mph winds while sitting in the open.

A late evening session which I paid for into the night with my right hip freezing up. Agh!

Walked 2, ran 10 @ 5.3 mpg, walked 4, ran 5, walked 2, ran 2, walked 5.

Mind was somewhat willing but lungs were wheezing big time and legs were somewhat pooped as well.

It doesn't help that I am not doing anything in between PT sessions. Back on the plan tomorrow!
