Biking (Mason Neck) 38:50 [1] 6.44 mi (6:02 / mi) +35m 5:56 / mi
QOC meet at Mason Neck. No O for me yet, so I brought the bike. Well, the bike was actually in the car since I hoped to ride it yesterday at Rocky Gap while race timing there. But, I wussed out on that, and therefore, I had to get a ride in today, or else look really silly for driving my bike around all weekend for nothing.
The bike trail at Mason Neck is only about 3 miles, but that was enough to kick my out of shape butt big time. Though couldn't have asked for a more pleasant day to toodle around at slow speed on the bike. If I was going to suffer, at least I was suffering on a very peasant day.
After, I worked epunching, affording me the privilege of meeting shep, visiting from Australia, who kicked ass on the Blue course, throwing down 60:19, 22 minutes ahead of the next closest competitor. Thought it would hold up, but, Eddie arrived near the end of the start window and ran for the win in 59:19. Shep's major downfall was the first control when he had issues with adapting to the 5 FEET contours on this map, unique to the area. Eddie tried to give it back at 6 & 7, but it wasn't enough. :)
A very cool day. Thanks to Amy, Mary, and all of the other people who work towards making QOC a great club to belong to.
