Event: QOC & SVO: McKeldin - The Stumble
 

Great terrain. Good courses. Some bonehead errors; splits indicate 2 minutes at 6 (I was in the right place but control was hidden in the young pines and I didn't see it until the third pass through the top of the reentrant) and about 3-4 minutes at 8 when I didn't read the map well and thought I was in the yellow when I wasn't. Small bobble at 10 when I read a reentrant as a spur but corrected fast enough. Knees okay but not great. Got tired pretty fast which was a bit depressing.

A quick jog in the Wiss. Cut my normal trail route short because I wore thicker than normal socks and my feet were feeling numb, my ankle was feeling a little tight and I have a pile of papers that need to get graded today. All pretty poor excuses but it is what it is. At least I kept jogging the whole time even the section where I went up the hill in the woods to cut off the loop.

TNT - Media. A hike with some jogging spurts with Dasha and Eric. Enjoyed dinner and the light banter about eigenvalues, transition matrices and isomorphisms at dinner. Others were bored. :)

Wow - Just heard the DVOA Juniors rocked it at the Flying Pig with a 1st place in the Varsity School Division, 1st place in the Varsity Club Division and a 1st place in the Club Intermediate Division. It's been really great watching this group of juniors.

TNT - Indian hike with Sandy, Bob and Jim. Next week we will jog some of this.
