This was just a warm-up for the US Short Course Championship. I wanted to warm-up more but got to the start too late. I hadn't worked-out (except for moving boxes and furniture) the previous 3 days due to moving from Greenbelt to Bowie.

US Short Course Championships. I'd been feeling stronger from cycling and resting my legs the last 3 days however, I made some several easy mistakes. See the Split List

Red - Splits

From the UMD Track (bleacher end) out to the Northwest Branch Trail, north on it to the end of the pavement, then back. I estimated the total distance. It might have been more given the measured miles. I wasn't sure of my pace starting-off. My back hurt a little to begin with but loosend as my legs (which were tight from cycling) did. On the few half mile markers that were available, I did 3:21, 3:17, 3:15, 6:47 out to the turn around for a half-way of 27:11, 6:49 back to the next half mile marker, 3:17, 3:15, 3:15. It was very windy but mostly protected in the stream valley. My back didn't hurt too much afterward as had been usual before.

Windsor Green to Crescent Dr. to Edmonston Rd. to Odell Rd. to Springfield Rd. to Powder Mill. Rd. to Laurel-Bowie Rd. to Bowie State U. to the WB&A Trail to Daisy La. to Rte. 193 to Windsor Green. Very windy out with a headwind all the way back from Bowie. Funnel cloud cited 10 miles away in Rockville but I never got rained on.

From Windsor Green, Ridge Rd. to Research Rd. to Beaverdam Rd. to Kennilworth Rd. to Crescent Rd. to Windsor Green. Very windy. Just wanted to get in some easy miles before a busy Mother's Day. My legs are still tired and sore.
