QOC Combat Village Red. Fairly difficult navigation in subtle terrain, combined with unfortunate map printing, made for a tough run. The first control was described as a reentrant, and I spent some time looking in various likely reentrants before bailing back out to the road and taking a more careful approach. This time I followed the 1-contour ridge, figured out that the black x was a rootstock, and found the flag from there, on apparently flat ground.

After that I was a lot more careful (which meant slow) and avoided making any more big mistakes. I overran #6, must have gone right by it, because when I came back it was right where I thought it should be. Overran 8 too, and got into the complex reentrants to the north of it. No other problems but, as I said, kind of slow ticking off features.

A surprisingly fine afternoon, and a nice time meeting and yakking after the run.

Red - Splits

Hill repeats. I was going to do intervals on the track, but they were having a track meet. So I ran off in the other direction and did some hill repeats. 8xhills @30s, approx 1 min in between.

Morning run, gloomy and some drizzle, but better than the thunderstorms later on.

Planks, squats, figure-8s

At Goddard. Turned into a reasonably nice afternoon. More rain tonight.

Drumm loop. A light drizzle the whole time. It must have started just as I went out the door, because the roads were mostly dry, but pretty soon they were mostly wet, and so was I.

Core plus legs.
