| biking 39:39 [3]8.2 mi (4:49 / mi) | |
| Helping Valerie time a bike race at Quantico. Got out for a short bike ride in the morning when there wasn't much going on. First time I got my bike out of my shed this year and I'm glad I did. I always forget how much I enjoy riding. I'm out of riding shape though - my hands and feet got numb pretty fast. Didn't want to get in the way of any of the racers on the course though so just rode a big road loop around the Quantico base. | ||

| orienteering 1:25:00 [3] | |
| Orienteering at Prince William Forest on a course Valerie streamered. In order to get water halfway through, we parked near controls #3 and #4 and I ran #4 to the finish while she did #3 backwards to the start. It was a fun few controls; nice orienteering. I was a bit sloppy near the end, but corrected quickly each time. I did some running in the woods but not a whole lot. After meeting up with Valerie, at the original start/finish where there was a water fountain, continued on doing #1 through #3 while she did the rest of the course backwards. Had a little trouble with #1 (too high), and then got stung by a bee (or bees) a couple of times right after #2. I could have done without the bee stings, but other than that it was a great day in the woods. | ||

| Note | |
| A hummingbird!! I've never seen one in my yard before. I was wondering what that large thing on the lamb's ears was and it was a hummingbird. This may inspire me to get a hummingbird feeder. | ||

| map hiking 4:00:00 [1] | |
| More Fair Hill streamering. At the park from 10:30 to 7:00 and on my feet for all but about two hours - meeting with the ranger, lunch, changing when I finished. But some of it was standing still trying to decide what to do. Hard to know what to count as "training". But I am tired, that's for sure!
Almost done. Need one more visit - but only about an hour's worth. Plan to stop on my way home from DC on Sunday. A lot of the controls are a very short distance from a mountain bike-able trail which hopefully will help setup and pickup the weekend of the event. I wonder how many streamers will make it to Labor Day? | ||

| running 1:01:00 [3] | |
| TNT - ran with Heather; Sandy did a basement workout; Alison ran with Karl and Bob. I have a reentrant, but Alison now has a hill!
Ran three miles on the drive with Heather letting her set the pace. The first two miles were well under 10 minute pace but they felt a lot slower than that. Heather really wanted to walk after two but we did the whole planned workout by just slowing it way down for the last mile. She's a trooper! 448 454 448 443 539 521 I'm pretty sure I could have kept up the earlier pace for another mile which is encouraging. I jogged the road home as well. Time includes walk down, walk/jog up, and a couple of minutes of stretching. | ||

| trail 58:08 [3] | |
| A tnt workout in Media. Only ran about 40 minutes of this; every slight uphill had me completely out of breath, heart pounding and about 30 minutes in I took a walk break which I repeated a few more times until about 50 minutes when I hit the final road where I usually walk it in anyway.
The company, as usual, was excellent. | ||
