Lunchtime biking at the LOC gym.

Event: QOC Lake Needwood
 

Barnacle and I walked the Brown course at QOC's local event at Lake Needwood, which is the northernmost section of Rock Creek Park. It was a nice little area, with a decent map, which, for some reason featured 20ft contours. No real time losses this time, except for not seeing the flag at #1, and stopping at water controls to let Barney drink.

My back muscles were really tight on the early climbs, but then loosened up.

I got handily beaten by Lennon x 2, so my quest for a walking win of the Brown course continues.

This event also featured a massive Russian-speaking contingent. They took over a picnic shelter and had lots of food, drinks, and activity during the event. A couple of the kids seem to be interested in getting competitive, so I will see if I can gradually get them interested in training for O.

Also, Alli not only had a good run on Green, but also helped out with e-punch. We are both enjoying getting involved with QOC more and more.

Brown - Splits

Bike at the gym. In addition to watching some EPL, I saw a fragment of Rock of Ages, which was epically terrible.

Another bike session, this one at the Library of Congress gym at lunchtime.

My doctor told me that it's good for the back to be active, doing things that don't hurt, so I made a triumphant return to the recumbent bike at our gym.
