First sniffles; stuffed sinuses by Monday the 23rd

Freezing rain most of the day (but warm enough that it didn't accumulate *too* much).

Yoga canceled (the instructor comes to our community and didn't want to come for three students). Hope it's nicer tomorrow.

Event: QOC Patapsco Avalon
 

Brown at Patapsco Avalon. 3.6 km, 165m climb, partly sunny and temp around 50 with a breeze. I was a bit overdressed. We hadn't been to this part of the park before (though we've been to other parts farther upstream, I think). Spur and reentrant terrain mapped as mostly white woods. I kept decent bearings (to make sure which spur I was on) and didn't find a need to pace count as there were plenty of trails around. Good course by Boris G and Joe B, though the plunge down the hill to the last control was a bit nerve-wracking (too steep to just let go but I didn't have to sit down anywhere ;-)).

7th (or 8th?) out of 35-ish, with a couple MPs and a DNF and more to finish. Kathleen finished before we left and was happy to move into 1st place, 9 seconds ahead of Dave Webber. I was pleased not to have any major--or really minor--errors, just a misreading of trails heading to 9 (I climbed a hill to the mapped clearing SE of the control hill and corrected from there) which didn't cost me more than 30 seconds. I'm not in shape to do more than hike up any hills, but I jogged when hills or trails headed downhill. :-)
