Cycling home.

Event: The 35th annual Billygoat Run
 

Jog in RCP with Dan late in the afternoon.

Event: QOC Rosaryville - MTBO Part Cancelled!!
 

QOC Rosaryville Blue - one silly route choice early, otherwise fine though I wasn't feeling quite as good physically as I did at Combat Village the previous weekend.

After the orienteering meet, went and walked around Fran Uhler Natural Area to see for myself what the terrain looks like now and whether it would be worth the effort to try to revive the map. Sadly, the woods have definitely evolved for the worse from an orienteering point of view since we last ran there some years ago - it was always a park with thick areas but now almost all of the previously runnable forest has become thicker and has a fair bit more deadfall than I remember. Also, a number of the trails have fallen into disuse, with no one removing blockages by deadfall. The interesting stuff is still all there underneath but no one would thank us for setting courses through vegetation that unpleasant, no matter how starved for intricately detailed areas QOC orienteers may be locally.

Blue - Splits

To work, with two rests when I got caught for long enough at lights that I stopped my watch.

Decided to vary my cycling intensity upwards a bit and time myself riding to work this morning.

Home by way of Upper Northwest to see a FilmFestDC documentary with Dan.

Commute. Aquatic center on the way home.

To work.

Silly walks and uphill sprints.

Home with some grocery shopping en route.
