Summer Sprint Series training. This US Team fundraising series is something Peggy and I started in 1997(!) I think, to help us get to WOC that year. (Peggy - you'll have to correct me on timing). It's still going on and the summer woods around DC are still as spider webby as ever!
This was a contours-only map at Manassas in an area that was not very nice. There were a lot of downed trees, and it was very hot (92˚), so after the first 6 controls, I decided I had had enough and headed back -- there were only 2 controls left, but they were a little ways out and I was right by the start at that point, with a nice bridge beckoning me to cross the stream and go home.
I didn't fine ribbons at two of the controls, but I'm pretty sure I was in the right place. When I have a minute, I'll put my tracks on the map and see if I was right.
After the training, I took a quick shower and headed to my sister's house to go with her family to a free concert in the park. It was a little embarrassing, as I was standing in her kitchen, to have my brother-in-law pick off 3 ticks that he saw crawling on my neck and arm and leg. Yikes! I found 2 more before the night was over. I'll have to keep an eye out for rashes. Her son kept his dog away from me so the ticks wouldn't migrate over. Nice.
