Run at Harmony Hill and Nature Area. Super hot again; I feel like my body is not adjusted yet. Struggled through the whole thing, but ended up with a nice run. I think that the Garmin is acting up again, as my pace never registered quite as fast as it felt. Probably ran a decent bit farther than 7 miles.

Run at Cheslen. My legs were much more sluggish than I expected after orienteering last night. Heavy legs and hot, humid air led to a boring run, just struggling to put in the time.

Event: DVOA Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education
 

DVOA Summer Sprint Series - Schuylkill Center

Way too much traffic - almost 90 minutes to get there.

Did sprint 1 first to get the longer of the 2 done. Tried to bushwhack from 2 to 3 and found the ground impassable. I ended up just taking the path of least resistance and popped out in a place I wasn't expecting - considerable time lost. No issues elsewhere.

Sprint 2

Learned my lesson; stayed on the trails and just motored. Ran into some stinging nettle on the way to 8. Little hesitance there as I actually missed the mapped path and used an adjacent game trail. Also a few moments slow on 11 as I had the control at the fence when it was actually on a nearby path. I realized afterwards that the clues were verbal and not symbols, which would have been great to know, as I don't look at the symbols because I can never remember what they mean.

Was told that I somehow won this sprint (by 8 seconds). Had a nice time chatting with Brent and Abby afterwards as well!

C • We did too! 5

Sprint1 - Splits

Sprint2 - Splits

Run at Harmony Hill while pushing Noah in the stroller. Pretty tired from today's heat and the work my legs did the previous 2 days. The stroller is much more of a workout than I remembered.

Hill repeats at Harmony Hill while Noah rode his bike with Rebekah. Went up the huge hill, then down the black trail. Was able to get 4 full loops in. Strava segment calls the hill "The Humbler" - this is the most appropriate segment name.
