Ft Leavenworth Adventure Race today. I drove up with Sandy (so we could chat). She was doing the whole race, while I was just doing the trekking sections.

This year there was an easy trek section on the main base and a photo map for the section by the airstrip. I had never run near the airstrip, so I had fun up here. Although it was long and hot, so I started taking regular walk breaks. I saw Sandy and Fritz and several other army guys jogging around. I also had fun looking at animal tracks in the dried mud, and I pretended they were fossils.

I stopped my watch when I got back, and I know I "saved" the file. But then I restarted it for the kyack section, and lately that has the annoying habit of overwriting my first track of the day on my Garmin. I'm so bummed not to have my track from this section.

And then a little bit of kayaking around the lake, just because it was there as part of the adventure race and I rarely get to kayak.

Ad Astra Mass Street MIlers run, to http://studio804.com/ houses. Blair arranged this run tonight, and made an "O map" from Google. It was fun to see the cool houses. I was with a large group including Mike, Gene and Fritz in the beginning. But then Mike and I took the shorter loop while Gene and Fritz did the whole 5 miles. It was nice to chat with Mike while we slowly jogged by ourselves. We waited for G&F at Ad Astra in the hopes of eating dinner downtown, but we never saw them before the store closed at 7 pm. So I stopped at Panera and picked up dinner on the way home instead.

Goals for KCCC 5K

2. Top 10 in F55-59: done. I finished 8th in the age class! And first in our corporate size division, which earned our company a lot of points :)

On the bike path through Baker wetlands. First long ride of the year so my butt got sore. Beautiful day, lots of folks out on the path (for Lawrence, nothing like DC)
