Event: QOC Beer Chase
 

The Beer Chase at Jug Bay. Another fine event, with a very fun 3-loop course set by Peggy D. I had a few errors, but not too bad. Tim Good ended up passing me on the third loop, but I was able to stay with him through the briars...I used him to find all of the sticker bushes. He got me by 5 secs. because if I had tried to drink the last beer any faster, I would have thrown up, and then I would have lost many style points. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate this year, and it was a chilly day, with massive amounts of rain. At times, I felt like I was running while taking a shower.

After the meet, QOC had its annual end-of-the-year picnic, elections, and awards ceremony. Thankfully, I was elected VP from Virginia. I was so afraid there would be a last minute nomination from the floor, but I was able to thwart all desperate attempts to wrest it out of my grasp. Phew, that was close!

loops 123 - Splits

Ran the trail down along Lee Drive at Fredericksburg Battlefield. The best thing I can say about this run is that I got it done. It was so hot and humid, really my first run in this kind of heat. My legs felt sluggish and I was having a few tummy troubles. I need to convince myself to go out first thing in the morning when it isn't quite so hot.

Went for a ride out on the flats. Just toodled around, taking interesting looking tracks. I was headed towards Laramie Range, when the incoming dark skies and lightning bolts convinced me that I ought to head home. The storm never passed over me, but seemed to skirt around the edge of town.
