Event: QOC Fountainhead
 

QOC Fountainhead East Blue - an event on a map I fieldchecked within the last two years with Ken still running shorter courses and Boris/Kevin/Hannah up north training. Had no excuse not to run without a compass and managed to make a handful of small to medium sized errors, largely due to that. Woods lovely. Should have brought something short-sleeved - it warmed up enough by the time I ran that I was a smidgen overdressed, even with no buff on my head.

After two rest days coinciding with my sister and her posse's descending on us after Christmas with my brother-in-law's side of the family, had to go out for a run in the 20ish centimeters of fresh snow. Very slow, would have been a level 1 in normal conditions, but deep snow has a considerable intensity elevating effect. Did a nostalgia tour of childhood schoolyards and playgrounds plus Mooney's Bay, which took me by Bill Anderson's place as he was clearing his driveway. Would have run right by - my memory somehow twisted over the years so I thought his house was on a corner on the east side of Flannery Drive, not the west side - but he recognised me and yelled, so we talked for a couple of minutes before I continued.
