QOC Local Event at Cabin John on the first cold day of the fall.
It was a very good blue course for this area, set by Amber. There were several times when I had to think hard about route choice and also second-guessed myself a few times.
I felt like I got stronger and more confident as the race went on, which was a nice feeling to have. I lost about 1:15 or so going to #3, when I chose a route that went through the housing development, and the map did not exactly reflect reality there. In addition, I got chased by a massive dog (I think it was a bull mastiff) as I was running on the edge of the woods and someone's backyard.
Good race overall, and I even managed to edge Jon by about two minutes, for the first time this fall.
