Ok, tire flat again, so will need to practice my tire changing skills...the method which involves me changing the tube myself vs. having the bike store change it for me. Won't have that second option during the AR on April 1...
7 AM
Biking 50:28 [1] 7.49 mi (6:44 / mi) +82m 6:31 / mi
ahr:119 max:180 weight:194lbs
Drove to Wakefield Park with the plan to ride to Lake Accotink and back.
Wore the fr235 on wrist today instead if on handlebar, so HR is real, not the bogus HR recorded even when watch is not on my wrist.
Got a little confused on how to get on the CCT and ended up crossing here...one fully wet foot, five minutes in. Oops.
This crossing resulted in ending up on some nice single track, which I was able to ride.
But, not over this...
Made it to Lake Accotink.
An accidental artistic selfie...
The bottom of the dam hill, aka the hill at the bottom of the dam...no way was I trying to ride up this...
Nor was the guy who came after me...barely visible in bottom right.
Around the rest of the loop, including up and back on the spur hear the power station. Enjoying the ride.

8 AM
Walking 21:39 [1] 1.2 mi (18:03 / mi) +23m 17:02 / mi
ahr:106 max:138
Flew off a high curb with and front tire immediately flatted. Had to walk back to car because I didn't have a pump or spare tube. Took a wrong turn and instead of turning around, I decided to practice my AR skills instead...had to cross two creeks and got to bike whack a bit as well.
Filled up tire at home and bumped off a few curbs and it didn't flatten again. Will see how it is later. Should I take it apart and see if something may have caused it to flatten? Seems like flying off the curb wouldn't be enough by itself.
Another beautiful day. Some weeding after I got home, and a home inspection from the beagle group by a person I actually know from orienteering. Small world.
Fish are not in winter slow motion.
