Event: BOK Gray Owl -Rock Garden
 

When we got to Gray Owl, Alli headed out on her green course, and Inara and I went to the remote start to do Orange. Between the walk to the start and the 3.3km course, we were out for 2.5 hours. Inara walked most of it, and it a pretty good job of running to flags once she spotted them! I was really impressed with her. We saw lizards, snakes, and frogs, so it was a good day out.

After getting back from Orange, I was pretty beat, but decided to head out on Red anyway. It was 87F and very humid, and I was dead from the start. It was one of these days when you run the downhills and maybe the flats, but end up walking even the slightest uphill. It was a struggle the whole way, but I am glad I went out. Fun to see Keith Andersen at the event, too. USMAOC grads are everywhere!

Thanks again to BOK for organizing another fine socially distant event. The small size of the club really allows these events to fee very safe - I am never anywhere close to other people, and there are no crowds at all. QOC, by virtue of its large size, would struggle with such events at this time...
