GPHXO blue course at First Water. Very enjoyable. Some bobbles but no big errors; as always, tough running with lots of cacti and rocky underfoot. We went to a desert botanical garden a couple days ago, so I was mentally cataloging the various types of cacti I saw and/or pulled out of my legs.

GPHXO event at Buckeye Hills. Very fast terrain with few cacti; I had a couple bobbles but a really good run overall. Fun course, though I would have liked a few more controls and more technical legs similar to 4 and 6.

We drove down to Tucson in the AM and arrived just about in time for the peg race mass start at Greasewood Park, which was very enjoyable. I attained the first two pegs, but got lost looking for 4a and attained no further pegs, though I did all the extra controls just for fun.

It seems to me that the popularity of Wordle can be ascribed to three factors:

1. Most importantly, ease of success. Many/most adults with a reasonable grasp of English can reliably "win" without any in-game acquired knowledge/skill required, and with only a minimal time commitment. This makes people feel good.

2. Manufactured supply/demand scarcity. There is only one puzzle per day, thus it's impossible to binge the game or get tired of playing. Akin to having one bite of ice cream vs. eating a whole pint.

3. Community. Everyone plays the same puzzle each day, and thus people can brag/compare, and feel connected. Social media friendly.

Weowna Park w/dog. Unclear if it's called that because they own the park. Not that good for running; too steep and lots of Bellevue Karens.

Pre-run/vetting Long Advanced at Fort Casey. Had to move one control which was an inside corner that was really the above/top corner of a large cement bunker which is mapped as a wall. Not unreasonably, the setter read "inside corner" as "inside the bunker" which would have been a more interesting placement - but not valid as currently mapped.
