Note
Four Seasons 5K at 8:10am and Lake Accotink QOC event in the afternoon.
Cycling 1:10:00 [3]
All my cycling - to the 5K then to the library and home then the round trip between the Franconia-Springfield Metro and Lake Accotink.
Running race 17:08 [5] 5.0 km (3:26 / km) +20m 3:22 / km
Sprint Four the Cure 5K - strange race without numbers and therefore without official results, just a clock at the finish so you could check your time. Second, just over 30 seconds out of first and the sole male prize, a round trip on American Airlines (no limitations mentioned but I tend to assume it would have been only for destinations in the US, possibly only the continental US). Still, must admit, that's a heck of a prize and I'll no doubt take a stab at it or its equivalent next year, unless my 5K form deteriorates. Course not, to my knowledge, certified and overwhelmingly on the gravel C&O Canal towpath with some sharp turns and stairs involved in the two bridge crossings so perhaps I shouldn't put much stock in the time but I certainly hope I can reverse the current trend and manage something closer to my PR the next time I step onto a certified flat course.
Orienteering race 1:05:17 [4] 9.1 km (7:10 / km)
QOC Lake Accotink - the point maximising all controls in ascending numerical order route for Sid Sachs' score-o. A lovely day in the woods, some confusion trying to ignore the new and/or shifting trails in parts of the map, one of which led Sid to believe someone had filled in the pit he intended to use as a control location when it was just 15 to 20 meters upslope of where he ended up putting the control, presumably by placing it in about the right spot relative to the nearest trail - Peggy and I arrived at the pit just about simultaneously to share a moment of befuddlement and resignation to searching the vicinity before spotting the flag.
Orienteering 1:05:00 [1] 5.4 km (12:02 / km)
Control pickup - left to run to the far western part of the map with about 20 minutes to go before course closed and picked up all the controls on the way back east. Moved pretty slowly to very slowly, mostly walking once I had enough controls to make running feel awkward.
