OK event at Overlook. Not too hot this morning

Worked registration and gave beginner's briefings before heading out on Gene's "confusion" course. Many markers, had to pay attention. I made more mistakes than I wanted, usually because I mis-remembered the control number or ran too far. Saw I could just make it under 39 minutes (10 min/k) if I pushed hard from the last control. Nearly killed me but I made it. This was lots of fun (I rarely get to run along the shoreline) and he did a good job of giving us the hills in the beginning and the confusing trails later.

Two loops with map exchange. Second course is hand-drawn on this map.

I stopped by the Corps office this morning to finally meet the ranger (Samantha "Sam" Jones) who helps us with all of our event permits. We had a good discussion about getting women involved in outdoor sports (she runs a program aimed at women in MTB) and how OK and the Corps can continue to work together. So glad we have this good relationship!

Since I was at the Corps, it was easy to go for a run right after the meeting. It was getting hot already, but the shaded trails were really nice. Trails are hard-packed already this summer; it's been very dry.

Sandy and I hiked around Bunker HIll while Kiri ran all around us. Sandy walks fast, and it was hilly and hot, so I definitely got a workout.

Rode to the edge of town to purchase some fireworks. It was hot.

My legs are super tired from the past three days of exercise and really sore for some reason. So I decided to take it easy on the legs today. Mike drew me a control picking course on his newest map (which is still in progress) and I did a brisk walk. I tried to keep moving the whole time and to practice identifying three things in/near the circle. I did OK, but one lack of focus going to 11
