Walking/Hiking15:00 [1] 0.8 mi (18:45 / mi) +30m16:48 / mi
First AT "hike" of the season. No-packing through the town of Hot Springs, NC while waiting for our shuttle. Almost lost the trail on two occasions - it's so much easier to find it in the woods!
Substitute instructor started late and ended early with a light class in between.

Singles with Syed - whose skills are improving, but whose fitness is suspect.
Game 1: Led 7-0, then never by more than nine or less than five; won 21-12
Game 2: Trailed 0-5 before taking it 21-9
Game 3: 21-4 and not as close as the score made it look
Lots of careful shot making (and lots of not-so-careful shot making) thrown in with the occasional running points. 21-15, 21-5. Once he gets tired, it's all over.
