| Very pleasant early morning run in Prince William Forest Park with Swampfox. Mellow pace for him, moderately stressful for me. Good to get out. And the new shoes (Asics trail) felt good.
Then a round of rogaine practice at Augustine with Chuck Ferguson and a friend of his. Excellent.

| Funeral, then a long drive south to try and talk Swampfox into coming to JJ's rescue, but SF claims to only do outside jobs. One more chance tomorrow morning to make my case before he heads west and we head further south.
On the other hand, knowing from recent history what happens when you put a gun in the hands of a Wyoming man, perhaps JJ should consider himself fortunate if SF stays away? |

| NEOC local meet at Mt. Tom. Ran the start for a couple of hours, then headed out on the Red course after Phil printed up a special version of the map, 1:11,000 (as opposed to the version everyone else was getting until we ran out, 1:10,700). I believe there is a reason for these less commonly used scales, though that reason may be philosophical in nature and far beyond my ability to understand. Suffice it to say it was a beautiful day, a fine and testing course with a sufficient number of hills and rocks, and all the controls were right where they were supposed to be.
Good run, though good walk would be more accurate every time the course turned uphill. Just a little careless at #4. A few falls, got my little finger on my left hand on one of them, though it seems like it shouldn't affect my grip, also got zapped in the eye, the non-contact one, towards the end, bit of a scratch but maybe not too bad.
My routes.

| Picking up points 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, plus a Green course control between 2 and 3. With stakes and e-boxes, even half a dozen is a good armload, especially when the forest tightens up a bit.
