Rogaine - time walking during the night and morning.

Rogaine - ime running in the forest in the morning.

Rogaine - running along the road back to the finish. Jamie and I made it in with about 5 minutes to go to take second place. I expect we could have won if we'd slept an hour or so less and walked/jogged out along the road to the west end of the map in the dark so we could come back picking up controls once the sun rose, though whether less sleep would have been enough to restore us physically I don't know - my ankles were enormously tired when we dragged ourselves to the hash house at about 1:30am. My being cleaner navigationally might well also have done the trick - we did one fairly big wander on Saturday afternoon that I had to bail out to the road to recover from and some lesser errors. Interestingly, I was cleaner at night due to increased care and choosing more foolproof routes.

Event: The United States National Bushwhacking Championships
 

Rogaine - time walking on the first day.

Time running on first day of the rogaine.

Commute, and volunteering at PCRM/shopping for a higher capacity hydration pack for the rogaine tomorrow on the way home.

Commute and excursion to library. Sore hamstrings from running yesterday. Note to self: ease into running more gradually next time I take a two week plus rest.

C • Easing into things 2

Run to work through Rock Creek Park in approximately 90% humidity. Time to get back to running - don't want to slip further down the training time list (not that the rogaine this weekend won't pretty much take care of that).

Commute home, buying a pair of trail running shoes en route.

Commute in. Took Metro home by way of "Mephisto" at the Goethe Institute.
