Walking (Dog walk) 33:25 [1] 1.25 mi (26:41 / mi) +82ft 25:08 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

We drove down to Bristol Mt, to the area of the summit center, planning on taking the dogs for a walk on the XC trails. But there was major activity up there, as this is, I believe, the first weekend that the rope adventure course (which is headquartered at the summit center) is open. So we decided not to go on the trails or anywhere near the rope adventure area. We walked down the dirt road which is an extension of South Hill Rd, and came across some very impressive houses being built.

Around the big block, with a short excursion into Finn Park. Had a pretty bad cold last night and this morning -- was a total slug all morning which was too bad because the weather was nice. Still don't feel great but good enough to walk the dogs and get outside for a little bit at least.

Walking 2:21:24 [1] 8.03 mi (17:37 / mi) +146ft 17:19 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Doing a 2+ hour version of the Roch. Map Adventure to see how things looked from a competitor's point of view.

Found one major issue -- a particular control (which I really liked, a bit of interesting history) was gone! The historical marker had vanished.

I got to 28 controls, counting the one that had disappeared. I am sure I could have done better with some better strategy. Spent too much fairy unproductive time in an area where the controls weren't that close together and missed an opportunity to have focused on a higher density area. But I still viewed this as positive, that someone not running at all, not choosing an optimum strategy, and not using the full 3 hours (much less 5 hours), could get 28 controls. Hopefully this means that most people will find the event reasonably satisfying in terms of being able to get to a decent number of controls, even for those who are doing it on foot, walk the whole way, and choose the shorter time category.
1 PM

Walking (Dog walk) 15:47 [1] 0.79 mi (20:02 / mi) +9ft 19:49 / mi

Shorter than normal early afternoon dog walk, because I was a bit leg-weary from the 8 miles of urban walking I had just gotten back from.

shoes: Brooks Ghost 5

Dog walk, after dark this time. Over to Finn Park, back to the parking lot, and return. Totally cloudy so no stellar objects visible, unfortunately.
