Shady Grove Metro to Little Bennett.

Bad cold and/or allergy problems on Saturday seemed to be under control with medication but I felt a little bit under the weather - muscles responding properly but energy running suspiciously low on long uphills. One massive parallel error on the third leg and one even worse route choice on 8 to 9 - very climb adverse after climbing to 8 as gently as possible and still feeling wiped. Otherwise a little sloppy technically here and there but it was fairly easy orienteering so I didn't pay for it very much.

Heading out and back to check on an orienteer reported with stomach pains and control pickup.

Limping back to Shady Grove. More generally achey than I should have felt for which I hold the cold to blame. Also not much appetite since I ran and somewhat dehydrated despite my best efforts, neither of which helped my energy level.

Blue - Splits

Tennille was teaching in place of Deborah - slightly higher energy class than usual as a result.

Back from a week mostly shut up in meetings, vehicles and a very nice hotel extremely far from everything in Algiers of any touristic interest. Fun to use my French, at least. Swam for about 15 minutes in the Mediterranean each afternoon but took no other exercise worth mentioning.
