QOC: Wheaton Regional Park, MD. I felt better running today than the day before but it was still pretty slow. I was okay for most of the course but had some minor errors on a few controls (#4, #8, #10, #12), and a larger error on #14. Some of my routes may not have been that optimal either. A few of the errors came about by me cutting off of a trail too early. One (#12) was just starting out on a poor bearing. I'd done the re-mapping of this park and at times, I just lost where I was; such as in the #8 and #10 area. I had trouble reading the trails at times and that was probably because they were too thin or I didn't slow down enough to read them. I could tell when I was really running out of energy after the climb to #12. I got to thinking poorly leaving #13 and at a trail intersection, I needed to pause to figure out which trail needed on the way to #14. It was a fairly nice day with temperatures in the upper 40s or low 50s F. I'm glad that I got to run and hope I can do more training now that the weather is better and I'm past a few things that had been making it difficult to train!
