Event: QOC Beer Chase
 

Downtown Philly, spectating at the big bike race, with the kids on bikes, Angelica & Vadim. Nice unique day.

Event: Wissahickon Trail Classic 10k (Andorra section)
 

JWOC team member Greg Ahlswede & WOC team member Wyatt Riley both challenged the field at today's Wissahickon Trail Classic 10k. This race featured multiple grueling hills, a good mix of roots, embedded rocks and gravel surfaces, plus a modest coating of mud from 24 hours of rain in the previous 30 hours. Over 400 people finished the race.

Darryl Weaver, recent course record setter for many local trail races won yet another local race, taking this course in just under 38 minutes. Just over two minutes later, Greg Ahlswede came through in 40:32, taking 6th, followed a bit later by Wyatt Riley, in 42:01 flat, taking 12th place.

Thanks to Sandy A. & F. who came out and cheered us on, conveniently just walking distance from their homes!

Any other JWOC / WOC team member races coming up? Trail, road or orienteering?

Chesterbrook loop w/Angelica, 1.5 miles - her HHT is getting bad - then a loop through the park

Event: Warwick 5k Trail evening run
 

At the track with AJ, Oriana and Nicole, while Angelica was home working/resting injury.

2x400, 200 rest, 8x300, 100 rest, 2x400, 200 rest, w/Fast Tracks. Led all, but none of the fast guys were there. The fast woman was there, and she was right behind me on several of the loops.
82, 81
63, 60, 60, 60, 60, 60, 60, 58,
79, 78
Not too bad given the short rests, although I'd like to be hitting these 400's w/low rest in 75's soon...

Went a bit longer than intended. First to try to complete the 3km circle (need O'pants to really complete it...) Then up to Airdrie again checking out the trails, and noticing as I was getting thirsty, that I was only a few blocks from Rt. 30 and I had $20 in my pocket so I headed over there for a drink. The Mt. Dew was good.

The run back down 252 wasn't. At the bottom of the hill, I got to see a truck run a red light on the shoulder at ~ 25 mph with smoking brakes, and a beeping but really weak horn. I was happy to be jogging across the steert parallel and across from the truck. Were I crossing in any other of the 3 directions, he could've flattened me.

The new (252 closed) shortest park loop, plus excursion to kid's school, and some zig-zagging at the end.
