Event: QOC Wheaton
 

Map could use a vegetation update. Unfortunately, there is now major Wavy Leaf Basket grass in the park.

I did ok navigationally but Wheaton is an easy park. Only serious problem was when I twisted my ankle going to #10. I was way off on my direction and had to correct based on trails and was still off.

#7: I was fine until the final attack. I was high on the gullies and thought I was at a different gully. I overshot and had to come back.

#9: I messed up #9 also because it was hung on a vegetation feature which didn't exist anymore. I saw #13 and ran up to it and had to come back down to #9.

#15: The elementary school area has changed. There is now a large building where there used to be fields. Looks like they built a new school. I cut back into the woods so I could use the ice rink as the attack point.

Picked up controls. I almost DNF my control pickup .. I was most of the way back and realized I had forgotten to pickup the "spooky" stuff at my one control. I added about a mile trail run to my control pickup.

Red - Splits

Doing corn maze. We did lots of extra loops. I am somewhat amazed that we even got out. Had a good day, first we did the kids maze, then the adult one. also watched Darcy/Heidi ride the inflatable horses. I did the gerbil run where you are in a giant tube and have to walk it first.

Rode the bike to loosen up my knee.

Ran on the trails and grass on fields behind the house. Taking it easy on my knee but did go slow.

Rt 175 + Severn Run. First time In long time I did this route. It has more pavement to cross. My knee was feeling sore.
