QOC: National Orienteering Day at Accotink. Bev should be there as well.

Spent the day with Bev going for walks at 3 lakes. Noon: QOC National Orienteering Day event at Lake Accotink. We did the white course in 29:46. Just logging at as a walk. After some lunch we went to Burke Lake. Bev wanted to see what disc golf was all about, so we did 6 holes (1 under) then walked down by the lake. After some shopping and dinner we took a final walk around the lake at Kingstown, and then to the movies. Not a strenuous day for me but more than Bev is used to.
I am both resting for the racewalk tomorrow and testing my right foot which I seem to have twisted sometime friday evening.
AOWN report: Did not see our favorite herons at either Burke or Kingston but did see a new all white one at Accotink. Watched the turtles at Kingston and saw a large one we had not seen before. Looked to be well over a foot in diameter. Could not get a good look because he would not come to the surface.

At Merry Notes. 7:45-10:00. Start of the fall Square dance season.

Another of the annual Hour Walk races is coming this Sunday and I like to get in a token racewalking session before them to get some form work. At Burke Lake. warmed up for a mile running then race walked 3 miles on the trail. Some knee pain around 1 1/2 miles. Eased up when I let my form slide but that won't be practical in the race. Seemed to be worse on the downhills so may not be a problem sunday since the race in on the track.

Burke Lake. Warm up for a mile before walking and then 1/2 mile after walking.
Also did my usual 6 holes of disc golf. Cruising along at 2 under after 4 holes but then missed the dogleg on 5 and finished at even par.

At B and Bs. 8-9:30pm.

Had a two day running streak but it was ended before I even got it into Attackpoint. Promised myself I would try and get something accomplished at work this week. Monday was a Boomerangs Square Dance club council meeting, tuesday worked late until 11pm, Wed was start of another class at Boomerangs. 3 days of no exercise. Did not even get much rest as I stayed up late every night.

QOC: Mekeldin, Red course. Headache in the morning so slept in and did not go to the race until late. Dropped down to Red since I was tired from yesterday and it was late.
Ran (and walked) cautiously and tried to keep a good pace and navigate clean and avoid the bad route choices that often occur when I run here. Probably made the worst choice right from the start when I elected to go straight and up and down thru the climb instead of the road around. Any energy I might have had was used up there. Was in 2nd at control 14 but then got careless and missed 15 to lose 8 minutes and a bunch of places. Splits have been posted.

Played disc golf with Ted and Dave O afterwards. At least that practice is showing some results. Ted still won but 1/2 way around I was still close. Playing every hole as par 4, I finished 18 over. Ted around 11 over, Dave over 25.
