PTOC local red course at Watkins Mill. Not a great day for me. I boomed 2. I took a reasonably hard fall at 3. I couldn't find 4. After 4, I eased off the effort and did my best to enjoy the rest of the course.

Some control pick up time. I went to 4 to pick up the marker and found it a bit south of the correct location. Some people took a bit different route and found it without trouble.

I will have to recommend this terrain to Mikell Platt. He seems to think Burr Oak Woods has some thorns and thick forest.

Work commute. It rained a little bit on me when I was coming home.

1

Work commute. Warmer than it has been all week.

A driver cut me off at 8th and N.H. on the way to work. I think they just didn't see me.

1

Short run to/from the grocery store to buy some salad.

1

Work commute. Went in a bit early for a breakfast meeting.

1

Easy headlamp run on the trails on West Campus - not much time for more as we're off to a holiday party.

1

Commute to/from the office.

I felt a bit off all day. Went to be early and slept deeply.

1

Work commute. It was cold on the way to the office. Actually, it wasn't exceptionally cold (maybe 17F), but it felt especially cold becuase of the wind. When it is below 20, I usually wear boots that are windproof. I didn't do that today. My feet were cold at the office and took a long time to warm up. It didn't help that my office was 64F when I arrived and didn't warm up until the afternoon.

I expected to feel tired from yesterday's run, but my legs didn't feel tired. Maybe I took it too easy yesterday.

C • Trade 13

Testing some legs and looking at some stuff at SMP.

I hit my hand on a stick or something. It is uncomfortable. I don't think it did any actual damage, but it feels worse afterwards than it did before.

Checking some control locations for Shifman's courses. Something like control picking.
