Event: QOC: Jug Bay
 

Event: US Team Official 5K time trial (the first of two trials in 2010)
 

QOC Beer Chase - the unintentionally skipped control tooketh away some years ago, this year it gaveth at Eddie's expense. He'd clearly separated himself from Ken, Dan Quinn and I not far into the last loop as we wilted in the heat and humidity but then skipped the 5th control of that loop, apparently to find out he'd done so only at the download. I managed to finish slightly ahead of Ken for the official win.

5K - Splits

Long - Splits

DC edition of Race for the Cure - pretty warm despite the early start, standard issue DC summer humidity and a course with very little shade. Maybe not much faster than this was possible despite the very flat course, beyond the amount that not starting far enough behind the line that my chip time was 22 seconds less than my gun time would entitle me to subtract from this result to allow for being obstructed by slow runners for the first couple hundred meters. Looking at last years results with only one result among the top ten men showing more than a second or two's difference between chip and gun times, I had assumed there was either a formal or informal system to ensure the front of the pack was reserved for the fleet at the start line but such didn't seem to be the case, though most of my competitors apparently managed to be pushy enough to get up there. This resulted in my being officially fourth overall, first male 30 or older despite crossing the finish line as the seventh male. Slightly unfair, I suppose, but it didn't affect any category or overall placings since all the runners involved were in their 20s so I won't feel too guilty.

To work.

Got all records to show Dr. Cohen next Tuesday? No office hours on Friday so need to call Dr. Burkett's office today.

To work by way of the aquatic center. Home by way of PCRM.

Flutterkicking.

To work as fast as possible, allowing for traffic and my front fender popping out of the fork once and having to be retrieved. I wonder whether this is happening recently due to different amounts of expansion with increased temperature in the various materials involved.

To work. Home by way of the aquatic center.

Flutterkicking.

Cycling to work. And back.

SIlly walks, 8x10s uphill sprints and 5 uphill bounding passes.

Some abdominal work for the first time in some time.
