| 8k+160m. a-meet at daniel boone homestead. as expected, this wasn't great fun. some interesting trail route choices didn't quite make up for the impenetrable forest and thorns I'll be squeezing out until next week. easy to lose time while stuck in a thicket.. ahr:180 |

| speaking of sucksville, I'm not really excited about the dvoa a-meet terrain either day this weekend. saturday sounds like it will be a long yellow course, and sunday as bingo as french creek always is. I'm not much faster on paths than a lot of the other blue guys, so I have to hope that this atypical terrain will still provide opportunities for them to get lost. |

| Note | |
| |
| the mayor's cup organizers took a ton of photos during the race on sunday. here is a pretty good one of me passing three dudes at the finish. someitmes I look a lot more tired at the end, but I think I've gotten used to saving [mental] energy in orienteering races, so I don't push as hard as I probably could through the middle of the course.
oh right...I was working on that take-home midterm for tomorrow. sucksville. |

| the mayor's cup at franklin park. bastards made me join USATF for an extra $20 (matthias managed to get out of it though). been a long time since I raced on this course, almost 2 years now. very dusty during the race(hard to see/breathe sometimes), I'll be coughing up dirt for the next few days. not a bad performance considering all the running yesterday and that I haven't really been training for cross-country; 18 seconds off my PR here from back in the day. still not in the top half though, the field was mostly hardcore dudes (winner 23:29).
mile splits at 515, 552, 545, 551, 512 (the last is a little short). this stuff is hard on the knees, I think I'll stick to racing in the forest!
