Event: ICO Conquer the Crossroads
 

Two laps of the Al Buehler trail: 1 mile hard, 1 mile easy, 2 miles hard, 1 mile easy, 1 mile hard. Perfect weather and a not-so-bad work out.

I had a new idea for a run at Umstead today: I would start at the south park gate at the Reedy Creek entrance, then get to the north gate at US-70 as quickly as possible, then to jog back easily to the south gate, along a different route than I took to get there. I took 57:34 to get to the north gate. I'm sure that I can do this faster in the future with a couple different route choices and/or if I'm willing to get my feet wet in Reedy Creek on the way out.

The second annual 'sustainability scavenger hunt' at UNC Chapel Hill. Basically a 1-hour campus score-O (12 controls). At each control, competitors had to read a placard about the University's sustainability efforts, and then answer a multiple choice question on their punch card in a unique colored pen (different colors at each control location.) I cleared the course in first place by quite a bit, but evidently did not realize that the multiple choice questions were not the simple easy questions typical of urban score-Os. Rather, they were hard; and the multiple choices had difficult distractors that forced a very close (and time consuming) reading of the placard. So I missed two questions. Oh brother.

I left pretty early, not finding out whether my 10 correct controls ended up placing.

pathetic "run" around the Al Buehler trail.

BOK, red course at Umstead south. Another really horrible run, in pretty much every respect. I've completely lost my O-mojo.
