Tried Day 2 of our A-Meet on the Brown course. A little longer, a little more difficult terrain, and more climb.

Had to look for a few controls, but not very long, since my map reading was pretty good. Sometimes I veer left and sometimes veer right--not sure what that was about.

The course was 4.7 km, and the walk to the start was over 500 m up a hill. My hands got cold, and my compass thumb was so cold it was painful. Just started to get a blister on the left heel with my old O'shoes.

Ran Day 1 of the Brown course at SMP. Course was 4.6 km, but I went about 6.2. Checking out the parking and walking to the start added an extra kilometer. Good, except for a mess up on 6 which cost about 5 min. Otherwise, really muddy and slippery on trails from yesterday's rain, and wanted to avoid injury prior to next weekend. Felt strong on the hills.

Power-walked with Bob around Watkins Mill lake. Windy, but the snow is melting--warmest day in a month.

My usual weekly workout with Jared. One of several new wrinkles today was moving during planks to different colored cones. Ouch!
