Warmup for Kings Mountain Day 1. Ran from cabin area to start area. Light rain. Distance measured by car on trip back.

COK: Battle of Kings Mt. Day 1: Lake Crawford. Light rain, but warm; much nicer than last week. Not a great run. 40sec error early, then lost 10 minutes on a double parallel error when I counted a ditch as a stream. Vytenis ran 41 but the rest of the pack was 63 or above so I was in contention and M40 leader.

USOF Trail O championships. Distance is quick estimate. Time made up. Actually took nearly 2 hours but most of it was standing around. Found the course very difficult and was totally frustrated while doing it. Knew I had at least one wrong and had mismarked a nd corrected a box which a strick interpretation of the rules would also count wrong. Assumed others wrong as well. Just wanted to get it over with and rushed the timed controls getting both wrong. Surprised to find out later that I was third. Credit for the mismarked box or not spacing on the timed controls would have put me in 2nd. Actually finished tied for 2nd but lost the tiebreaker. Think I am only 1 for 5 on timed controls.

6pm. Temps in mid 70s. No track workout since track closed for a meet. Lee Annandale 50 route. 8 min warmup then 3 min hard followed by 1 easy for the remainder of the run. Hurting by the 4th one and not much speed on the uphill parts.

At Boomerangs 8-9:30. Another class graduates. More time eating than dancing today.

QOC: Westmoreland SP, VA. Blue course. Mid 30s, mix of rain, sleet and snow. Map is 28 years old. Only 3 people ran the blue course. Jon Torrance and Nadim beat me easily as I blundered around in the thorns and mud.
Splits are posted.

Control pickup after the meet. 61:45. Took off 6 min to cover the time untieing the bags.
