Annapolis 10 Miler - worn out from the effort last night, so I skipped the race. Did not feel like dealing with the heat, the drive to and from, the parking, the bathroom lines - well, you get the idea...I am a weenie!

Started first since I had the slowest per k time of the 15 or so present at Ted Good's end of the summer event. Only goal was to beat the adventure racers starting 2 minutes behind me. This was done easily since they spent a ton of time working with their compasses. Hey, the map was 1:5000 with great big school buildings scattered around - who needed a compass really!? Good effort.

The second half of the event saw us go out slowest to fastest from the first event. I went out 4th - 1 minute behind Heidi (finished about 2 minutes behind me earlier) and 1 minute ahead of Peggy (finished 5 minutes ahead of me earlier). Caught Heidi fumbling for #1 and Peggy caught me on the way to #3 but was screwed up with me at #5. I found it first and waved her over. Took the opportunity to follow her as long as possible to #6 which was the long leg. Enjoyable though hot evening. Still 50/50 about running the 10 miler tomorrow.

Just around the neighborhood a bit after dinner.

Test rode a 2005 Trek 7500 & then bought it.
