Event: QOC Pohick Bay
 

Worked on wearing Pepper out a bit before working a shift at the QOC event.

AP tagged this as Orienteering, and, sadly, it said our Yellow race, which we won, was Peppering. :)

A tough Yellow course, which explains why Pepper and I won. Turned my left ankle between 1 and 2. Obviously, I have not learned my lesson - must wear ankle braces, must wear ankle braces, blah, blah, blah.

Dropped an F bomb, albeit not too loud, in front of a family of four. The father asked several times if I needed help. My first instinct was to walk back, since I was so close to the Start at that point. But, I didn't want to disappoint Pepper, or myself, so I shook it off, and off I went, to blow pass CP 2, after also blowing pass CP 1.

Settled down after that, and while I bemoaned not having but the studded shoes on at times (and the ankle braces), I made it around OK, and it was a super fine day.

Bummer...I accidentally set the activity on my new FR 35 as cardio, so it appears that I don't get the GPX with this setting. Very sad.

Yellow - Splits

Took Pepper out for a walk before heading to Rocky Gap to time EX2 Greenhorn. Should have taken her with me. It was the perfect kind of day for her - not too many people, and not much stuff to spook her. Oh, well.
