Event: Little Bennett - QOC
 

Little Bennett Regional Park, MD. Warm-up for day two of the QOC Club Championships and the QOC MD Championship. I jogged around with Dave Onkst trying to get comfortable. With temperatures in the low 40's F, kind of damp air, and a good breeze I needed gloves and a jacket.

Day 2 of the QOC Club Championships and the QOC MD Championships. I ran less crazy this week and made fewer errors. The errors I made were generally small. It was a bit wet out after rains the previous night but the course was fast. The the green was overmapped in a few areas. I missed the road route on the way to #9. I got tired and slowed in the middle but finished better. My run-in was quick enough for me to pass and place ahead of Ted Good by 9 seconds (we ran at separate times). Dave Onkst was close behind at 83 minutes. Scott Pleban won the day in 73 minutes. Randy was second. Jon Torrance didn't come. My run gave me the title of MD Champion and 3rd in the club. See the Split List. It was a nice to do this as it probably was my last O-meet before taking on the duties of being a father. Peggy and I go to Russia tommorow.

MD Championships Blue - Splits

Rock Creek Park, Ken Gar. From the 7 mile mark, I ran the Kensington Loop starting very slowly with John and Paz at John's pace. The conversation today was about prison conditions and effects. After 3.65 miles in 32:25 (splits: 9:12, 8:36, 8:37), I left them coming back over the hill through Kensington for 2.25 miles in 15:47. 46 F and damp out.

45 situps and 30 pushups. More business.

45 situps and 30 pushups. More working late.

45 situps and 30 pushups. I worked late. My training sure does tank when I work late.

I used the time after work to get a crib with Peggy. At least I got some weight work accomplished by hauling the box inside. I also did 45 situps and 30 pushups. My side hurt.

From Rosedale Ave., Maryland Ave. to the NIH Trail to Old Georgetown Rd. to the Bethesda Trolley Trail, to Edson La. to Rockville Pike to Strathmore Ave. to the Rock Creek Trail to Cedar Rd. to Rockville Pike via the Elmhirst Pkwy to Jones Bridge Rd. to Maryland Ave. to Rosedale Ave. It was 56 F with calm winds at 7:15pm. I had to take advantage of that with a longer run even though I was feeling a bit lethargic before going. I started pretty slow (left shin hurt a bit for 23 min), picked it up on the Bethesda Trolley Trail, then slowed a bunch by the time I got onto the darker and less smooth footing of the Rock Creek Trail (split was 7:25 on one mile there). Fun but fading at the end. There was repaving and new segments getting shared segments off the road on many of the trails. PBR
