run race (trail, road) 52:04 [4] 12.0 km (4:20 / km)
shoes: Saucony ? (racing)
DCRRC: Burke Lake 12k. 10am. Usually run well at this race and while this year was not as good as others, I did not fall apart completely. Out easy and felt good at 1 1/2 miles but then left calf started to hurt. Got a knot like it had gotten a cramp. Did not get better, so I did not have the extra push that carries me through the 2nd half. Slowed and lost places instead of moving up like I usually do. Mile splits from the trail markers. (3:38), 6:55, 6:50, 7:07, (55) [25:27 at 6k], (53), 7:11, 7:10, 7:27, (3:57).
A lot better than the 12k on Feb 9. Looked at results from previous years and this was on slow side. 51:10 (07), 52:22 (06), 49:37 (05), 49:50 (04), 48:17 (03), 47:27 (02), 47:44 (01), 51:59 (00)

Warm up before the race. Trying to decide what the temperature will be and what I should wear. On the roads and around the parking lot. Sun was out and warming up so I went with shorts, long sleeves, gloves and ear warmer. 35F at race time, 39 when over.
orienteering (red) 1:43:53 [3] 7.05 km (14:44 / km)

QOC: FranUhler Area. 1:15pm. Left straight from the race to Bowie for orienteering. Wondering if it is a good idea. Calf was still hurting and stiffened up even more on the drive over. Thought about dropping down to green, but when I do that then I just get beaten by green runners instead of red runners. Started at a shuffle with the calf hurting. It loosened up somewhat but I was so tired I never got much faster than a shuffle. Mostly clean except for 4 when I was in the right place but could not tell what I had circled on the map, 22 when I cut in to early, missed the dry route and had to wade, 25 just could not find it easily and 26 when I totally screwed up in the green and trails and had to run up and down some trails to relocate. Some of the middle sections with Julie K, she kept running away but I kept catching up at the controls. A few near the end with Nadim before he also ran away just before I got lost going to 26.
My slow shuffle time was almost twice Jon Torrance's winning time.

From the parking to the start and finish back to parking. Walked most of the way there with Keg, jogged most of the way back since I had places to go.
Square dancing (ms, plus, rounds) 40:00 [1]
shoes: Blair - Botany 500
ARTS (Association of Round, Traditional, & Square) dance. Lincolnia. 4:30-7:30. I was a little late by the time I had been home and showered arriving around 4:45. Tired and calf was still hurting but it stretched out during the dance and I felt better at the end than at the beginning.
