OK, time for a new "competition" -- got some small tomato plants today, 2 for me, two for Gail. She potted hers in some very fine looking potting soil. I potted mine in some very fine but also very strange looking "soil" from last year's compost pile, which includes some things that didn't seem to decay too well -- avacado peels, corn cobs, and peanut shells.

So who will produce the first tomato? Actually, if there are any tomatos at all it will be a triumph.

And if I get a bumper crop, will Ali be unable to share in the harvest because of the peanut shells?

A little warm-up.

A response to Phil throwing down the gauntlet....

Rerun of the Cemetery Hill sprint, no map or compass. Hadn't looked at the map since after running the course last Friday, but I had gone through it in my mind a couple of times to make sure I knew where all 20 points were.

The only problems were #1, where this time I went into the woods sooner, so it was new, and there was more vegetation than expected, and 12, where I was sort of winging it but still spiked it, and 15, where I went straight (last time to the right) because I figured it was faster but didn't know the route.

And then one other problem, I was running out of gas a bit on ups at the end. Started a little too quickly.

Alex will have a hard time beating this. Ali will at least have to put out some effort. And Phil, well, maybe with his new explosive training, you never know....

Today's route (solid line) compared with last Friday's (line with borders). Today's is very demanding -- every time I slowed to hit the lap button on the 305 it looks like I'm walking.
