QOC Beer chase. McKeldin, Patapsco SP MD. Noon, high 80s. Died in the heat and some orienteering problems in the 2nd loop but managed to hold on for 5th. Right hamstring was tight before starting (and still is now), bashed my toe sometime in the first loop (it has a big purple bruise) and lost most of the sole of the left shoe after the 5th control. Did not actually lose the sole, it is still attached and was flapping and folding under for the rest of the race.
I had known the soles were loose after the Goat and had had them reglued at a shoe repair shop. While I was not impressed with the repair I wore them at West Point without problems. Thought they would be ok today but the heat and stream crossing was to much.
Splits and comments are posted.

18 holes of disc golf after the Beer Chase and picnic. Actually 19 holes since Nadim and I did one hole twice while equipment was being packed. Over 2 hours of walking in the hot sun. A lot of climb as well as I can not keep my disc out of the gullies. Tight battle with Nadim until the end when down by a stroke I was forced to attempt a long putt for birdie instead of laying up. Bogeyed the hole and lost by 3 or 4. Ted and Jon were well ahead. Dave Onkst just behind.
