Cycling 1:48:00 [2]

Cycled to the O meet mostly along Beach Dr and Rock Creek Park mixed used trail, with a shortcut through Kensington to cut off the big loop where Beach Dr almost kisses Rockville Pike. Then cycling home in the rain after the meet, but only from Forest Glen Metro, Mary having driven me there from Lake Needwood.

QOC Lake Needwood Blue - sadly I'm either not in shape overall or not in cycling shape to bike for 80 minutes plus a few to an O meet and then turn in a full bore physical effort. Lingering traces of illness not helping either. Messed up 1 a bit thinking either knoll or control would be more visible from below - should have just navigated to the reentrant and then gone straight up the middle of it until I hit the flag. Otherwise basically clean. This is certainly the time of year to run at Lake Needwood - almost all the thicker vegetation is noticeably less thick than mapped. Map could use an update for new rootstocks and removal of decayed ones but the course notes warned us about that up front so not a problem today.
