Event: QOC: Meadowood
 

Slightly longer than actually intended snowshoe hike mostly off-trail in a park therefore not to be named - I'm pretty sure the 16 inches of snow will have protected the ground from my feet. Saw many places where deer had bedded down overnight. Also qute a few of the deer themselves and birds and one squirrel. Listened to one AIH and two to three shows worth of Quirks and Quarks. Maybe I should have just drunk in the winter scenery without audio distraction but this was rather nice. Intensity understated but I can't quite see bumping the whole thing up to two and I don't want to start messing with the mixed intensity feature.

Joe then Oli.

Christmas Caper 5K? No, I need the time for Greenbelt field checking, even if it is going to be snowing. As appears nearly certain.

Who am I kidding? There's no way I can do productive field checking in the expected weather. Likely not on Sunday either, even if Meadowood is cancelled.

Long and forcibly slow run in Rock Creek Park after somewhere near a foot of snow had already fallen. Lovely stuff. Presumably great Trondheim training too.

To work in what qualifies as cold in and around DC. Home in similar cold but late enough to catch the beginning of the snowfall.

Didin't actually time this but another all out ascent of the hill near Carter Barron Amphiteater, which, now that I check it, is Morrow Dr NW, so henceforth the Morrow Drive hill.

To work. Home by way of the aquatic center.

Listened to another As It Happens and most if not all of a Quirks and Quarks.

To work by way of Chevy Chase, where I picked up a gift for the office Christmas party.

Portion of getting to work climbing from Rock Creek up Tilden St. NW to its intersection with 29th NW. Google Earth says this one is 51 meters vertical in about 600 horizontal.

Chance of snow on Saturday! Take it to Ottawa, will you, please - I have mapping to do down here.

OTOH, please stick with snow if the alternative is rain.

Home by way of the aquatic center.

Listened to another couple of AIH podcasts.

Cycling to work Home by way of the aquatic center.

Listened to a couple of As It Happens podcasts from last week.
