Trail-O. Amazingly, I was only charged with one error out of 18 controls. However, for one control (#7), any answer was accepted because it wasn't clear what the right answer was. I did think I got it right though, upon talking to a couple of others. The other, #11, I had the officially correct answer, although there was an informal protest by arthurd that none of the choices were correct (and she was indeed right about her protest). So really, I got that one wrong. Still, I was quite pleased and actually quite shocked that I did as well as I did.

My officially charged wrong answer was on #8. I see that arthurd chose the same answer that I did (C), so if a trail-O veteran like Stina picked that answer, I suspect there is a decent chance that C was really correct. In which case, I'm back to one definitely wrong answer (#11, even though it was officially correct).

From the Rec Center, before pickleball.

WAY too crowded today at the Rec Center! I thought by coming a bit late, like around 3:30 after my run, I'd be getting there just at or after the peak time, and that it would start to thin out. It certainly seemed like peak when I did get there, 16 people waiting; I waited in line and eventually got to play 2 games (very good ones, thankfully, although I wasn't playing great). When I finished, I was hoping that the number of people sitting out would have dissipated a bit, but it hadn't -- so I decided to bag it rather than wait quite a while for 2 more games.

At Casey Park. Six of us, two courts,

Pretty unpleasant weather. It had rained on and off all morning, but the forecast showed it stopping any time now ... and the dogs were itching to go out. It looked like it had let up, so we started out, only to have the rain re-appear and persist for the rest of the walk. Upper 30's.

We went around the big block.

Rec Center. I had a number of pretty decent games.

Casey Park, indoors. Not a bad group (weaker than Webster Rec center usually has, but better than normal for Casey Park). Cheryl came also.

Sunny, upper 30's.
