1pm. Lee Graham 50 route. Not very fast because I want to stay somewhat fresh for the hour walk race tomorrow. 9:43, 8:44, 8:54, 8:37

At Eum Paw Paws. 3:30-6PM Samba in intermediate class then stayed for first 1/2 of advanced class and tried to learn a phase 6 Foxtrot (We normally do phase 4). It was over our heads but we picked up a few new moves.

At B and B. 7:45-9:30pm.

Warm up on the roads 9:38 before track workout and cool down on track 800m 4:12 afterwards.

Hayfield HS. 6:30pm. 8 x 400m in 95 with 200m rest. Not very many and not very fast but I want to ease myself back into an occasional speed workout slowly. Never felt comfortable or found my groove. HS band was practicing so I heard parts of "Saints go Marching ..." the whole time.
95.3, (64), 94.9, (69), 94.4, (72), 95.6, (78), 95.7, (78), 93.6, (71), 92.6, (74), 96.7, (77)

At Boomerangs. 7:45-9:30pm.

QOC: Lake Accotink memory course blue. Map at each of the first 10 controls had a map with first 11 controls. Controls 11-19 had maps with 11-20 shown. Then in to finish and memorize the last 5 controls which had no maps at them. Helps to have run here before but I made some boneheaded mistakes. Either memorize the area near the control but neglect to note how many streams to cross on the way there or memorize a good route to an attackpoint then forget where the control was relative to the attackpoint.,
Biggest mistake was 15 where I chose a poor route and ended up on an unmapped trail and got lost. Had to bail out to a control I remembered from the first loop to relocate then got messed on up the unamapped trail again. Was heading back to the previous control when I stumbled upon it. 10k distance was over my current training level but I did manage to keep running and was happy to get the last 5 controls in a single pass.
Jon Torrance won in 79.

Control pickup. Had gotten a cramp while waiting around so just walked the whole way. Had been to most of the controls earlier. This time I had a map.
