early am swim. I am still tired from Fountainhead. I drank 6 big glasses of various liquids when I got home yesterday and still was not fully rehydrated.

Event: QOC: Fountainhead
 

MCRRC Pike's Peek 10k

CBRC - 8k trail run - Hollywood MD

95 and sunny - first hot day of the year. Blue - Fountainhead Park. Ouch this course really beat me. I had a great deal of trouble telling one reentrant and stream valley from another, particularly on 2 and 3. The heat and the very steep terrain also had me out of gas very early on. Also got an annoying blister on the back of my right heel. At least I finished.

PS - winsplits says my only mistakes were on 2 and 3 (but they were BIIIIIG mistakes that left me almost exhausted). So I would say that I get an 'A" for perserverance and endurance in continuing on after that to hit all the rest of the controls reasonably well. Even so, I can still recall going up the wrong reentrant on 2 more of them, but realizing it in sufficient time to correct by hopping over to the correct one at about the spot where the control was located. This definitely happened on 13, and I think also on 9.
