Jog/walk uphill to start of NAOC Day 2.

NAOC Day 2 Blue. Decent but not great day physically again. Biggest miss was 14 (right number?) which was supposed to be a short distance almost due north of one of the water controls on the trail on the way to it - I think the water was misplaced maybe 30 meters east of where it was drawn on the map.

Jog/walk uphill to start of NAOC Day 1.

NAOC Day 1 Blue. Felt fairly good though not great physically. Standout error was the control on the marsh in the vague area. Tried going in the right distance from the trail on a pace count and then turning right parallel to the trail to hit it. Failed, presumably by coming up short on the pace count. Muffed my rough compass to the next one as well but for nothing like the same amount of damage.

M21/Blue Day 1 - Splits

NAOC model event - totally guessing at time since my watch went AWOL in Algeria. Very steep and soft slopes and a vegetation mapping standard of either subtlety or inconsistency beyond my grasp.

Jogged about half of the model event in reverse to cool down and get a better look at things.

On getting home, a jogging warmup, cooldown and rests between a few opening and closing strides and a couple of moderately fast repeats of maybe 800m, all on grass. All intended to remind my legs there's such a thing as turnover after a couple of weeks without any fast running. Very humid.

Back from Algeria (10 days of much work, brief daily swims and all of two workouts involving light jogging and running form exercises on the beach so my body wouldn't forget it has legs); back to the usual commute and putting my metabolism back on a war footing.
