Event: QOC Fountainhead Central
 

QOC Fountainhead Blue - a glorious fall day in the beautiful woods, steep though they may often be. Not sure why I was as far back of AJ in particular as I was - I wasn't perfectly clean but neither was I making big mistakes. Route choices on a couple of the longer legs may have been suboptimal enough to matter, even if not enough to show up as errors in AP split analysis. No matter - not worth obsessing over.

Blue - Splits

Warmup/cooldown.

Silly walks and uphill sprints.

Warmup/running to Cardozo track.

Running intervals - 8,6,8,4 minutes, selected by drawing cards from a deck. Some cards selected calisthenic exercises on various sorts, of which we had three.

Carolyn's last Crawlers workout as she's moving to Tucson next week. Will have to finally send he a friend request in Facebook so I can see what adventures she gets up to out there.

Cooldown lap with the group plus slowly jogging home.

Event: Susquehanna Stumble XX - Pine Grove Furnace State Park
 

The Susquehanna Un-Stumble - need a longer time of doing LSD regularly - with Ken at 15, still in sight at 17, fell apart physically thereafter. Caught and easily passed by Samuel as well at the end of the second window.

This was an apparently intentionally least Stumble-like Stumble ever of those I've run - the two score-O windows, 4 controls each, couldn't have amounted to even 1 km of the total distance. In the first window two of the controls were even visible from each other. Not to say I didn't enjoy the ~13.5km of point-to-point orienteering but if there's only going to be one Stumble annually, I don't understand why you wouldn't lean into what makes the Stumble different rather than trying to make it as much like a conventional orienteering course as possible.
