the beer chase. 3rd behind eddie (~47mins) and jt. a fun course by peggy kept us mostly out of the nasty green stuff. it was two very similar loops which people had in different orders and then a short common loop. I had the same order as eddie, but not jon. Neither helped much since I was alone almost the whole time. the similar loops had controls close enough together that I saw about half of the second loop controls the first time around, but that was part of the trickery (they were on the same type of feature). only one real mistake, I was a bit off on my first #8. the best/worst part was having the "I'm the map" song from Dora the Explorer in my head most of the time. and I think I only know 2 lines.

very hot day, upper 90s in the city, but at least it was a little cooler in the forest and by the water. I would guess upper 80s based on the car thermometer. the warmup consisted of stepping out of the car, and the cooldown was an immediate plunge into the patuxent river after finishing.

no real problems with the knee, it mostly seems to be stiff when I get up in the middle of the night these days. (which btw still happens at least twice if I'm lucky, 4 or 5 times on a really bad night)
