Event: US Night & Relay Champs
 

It is done; The Rise and Fall was a thoroughly informative and engrossing historical work. The narrative was captivating and justly earns the accolade of the definitive account of one of the darkest periods of our history (at least among those I have read). I am now reading Orson Scott Card's Xenocide and listening to Bruckner's Seventh - in particular the Adagio movement.

I finally posted my reaction to the CSU A-meet.

The third movement of Brahms 1 is a notable exception to my general dislike of third movements (or Minuet and Trio movements). Coincidentally, it's very short - only 4:40 in my Solti CSO recording.

Fun 2.2 km sprint at SLOC A-meet. This was not a ranked event, but I won! I edged out Speedy and Ali by about 30 seconds, and Wyatt by about a minute. Most people weren't running the race hard, so the victory is much less significant.

I tend to forget to track my warmup with my GPS, and I often don't turn on my GPS until midway through my warmup. Before the race, I ran around the field chatting with Greg, Carol, and Brendan for about ten minutes. Afterward, I jogged a few cool down laps.

Run to the start. I warmed up for an additional ten minutes beforehand, but didn't record it.

US Night Orienteering championships red course. I was double giggled and Canadienne'd. Red was the appropriate length for me.
