No exercise today, and for a while as it turns out my eye trouble heading into the weekend and during the rogaine was due to a detached retina.

My watch was getting low on juice, so I stopped it after a couple of miles. I wanted to be able to keep track of time.

Estimate of the rest of the Sunday AM loop.

Event: CNYO Rogaine XXVIII
 

CNYO Rogaine at Hammond Hill

Didn't want to do anything that would aggravate last night's injury before this weekend's rogaine.

Event: ROC - Powder Mills Park
 

ROC Score-O at Powder Mills Park
Lousy start as I was too busy looking at the map on the way to the first (easy) control to notice that the creek wasn't looking right, so I had to skip it. That came back to bite me at the end as I went to get it, made a 25-second error and went over by 17 seconds.

I was looking at the map to decide which direction to go, so at least I made a good choice to go counter-clockwise and see how far I could get. Then on the second control, I didn't read the clue sheet and climbed needlessly to the field before realizing I had to climb back down to the control.

The next section went well enough, until after getting the one on the N tip of the pond, I foolishly tried to stay high and contour around - lost a lot of time to those that popped out to the road instead.

After skirting the property corner and passing Steve heading into a control along the eastern ridge, I didn't see a downed tree thru the ivy or whatever tangles you up and caught it, stumbled, managed to stay upright but then caught in the ivy and strained my already vulnerable butt/hamstring intersection, so I had to walk for a while. That cut down my endgame options and so I had to skip more than intended, costing me a shot at 3rd place.

Flag pick-up.

Took a day off ahead of the busy upcoming schedule.
