Vehicle extrication all afternoon

Event: QOC Patapsco Hilton
 

Cap Cross. Cat 3/4 women. 2nd out of 30ish. Got talked into a spur of the moment registration since The Bike Lane puts. Is race on. Started out in the last row because I signed up Day of, so I had my work cut out for me. Chose to ride the mtb because they were saying it was an mtb course and I hadn't been riding my CX. Passed about half the field before entering the grass at the top of the hill. Kept getting passed on the road sections and passing on the grass/dirt/hill sections. Was able to ride both steep hills where most other dismounted. Took me a couple laps to get clear of the passing. I guess the winner and I were the only ones to do an extra lap...not sure if it was 5 or 6 total. Might have to do More of these! Went pretty much all out and made it hurt. Great to have so many Bike Lane peeps cheering me on throughout the course.

CCT with D from Reston Town Center via W&OD. Perfect day for it. Skipped what we thought could be the muddiest singletrack, and everything we rode was in great shape. Rode back to the house then drove back to the other car to pick it up and for date night.

Long run on the CCT. Rained off and on. Felt great to be out...almost December and comfy in shorts and a tee. Saw a super mangy coyote on the backside of a neighborhood. The last 4 miles started to hurt. The Paradigms are definitely a go for the marathon. Honolulu or bust.
