Home to Foggy Bottom and Vienna to Fountainhead. Doesn't take so long if you only count the time spent applying power to the pedals.

Vetting course designs for QOC event at the end of the month. Have missed at least the last two uses of Fountainhead due to orienteering schedule conflicts - had somewhat forgotten just how lovely a piece of spur and reentrant terrain the slightly more than square kilometer and a half west of the parking lot is. It cries out to be remapped with a contour base map up to modern standards.

Met two box turtles in the woods (or conceivably one box turtle with an impressive turn of speed). Haven't kept records but feel like I see them at Fountainhead more than on any other map.

Returning from Fountainhead - more uphill and by a slightly longer route for some variety but also slower. Had slightly underfed and seriously underwatered myself so stopped about 80% of the way back to Vienna and bought half a gallon of orange juice, of which I drank about three quarters. Still tipped the scale at quite a low number on arriving home so continued serious rehydration efforts whilst cooking dinner.

Event: CSU Spring Training Camp #1
 

Easter Classic 5K?

To and from aquatic center.

Alternating equal distances of breast stroke and front crawl.

Crystal Run 5K Friday #1?

Cycling to work. Some food shopping on the way home.

Also, finally carried my new bike in its box to Silver Cycles to get assembled. It should be ready a couple of days after I get back from Flying Pig.

To work. Home by way of PCRM.

To work early in the afternoon after the usual Wednesday morning meeting downtown. To the College Park REI then home in the early evening.

Run to work through Rock Creek Park. Squirrels, going by the reduced frequency of sighting them compared to early evening, like to sleep in. Or maybe they make themselves scarce while all the dogs are going walkies.

Home by way of the aquatic center.

Mix of breast stroke, front crawl and flutterkicking.

To work by way of the aquatic center.

Ten minutes of breast stroke, then flutterkicking until I ended with about six minutes of backstroke and front crawl.

Run home through Rock Creek Park - little mud, no actual rain. Wish they would wait until sunset to lock the restrooms.
