Event: QOC Patuxent
8 AM
Orienteering (Course Setting) 40:00 2.5 km (16:00 / km)
slept:5.5 weight:180lbs
QOC: Patuxent River Park, MD. I set out 3 gallons of water mostly walking to an area. Luckily, my back had gotten some rest and wasn't bothering me like it was in the evening the night before. I also ran out to the control where I'd forgotten to bring an epunch the day before. I saw this spider web along the way (below) Coming back to the car, I ran the whole way at a good pace.
9 AM
Orienteering (Course Setting) 35:00 [3] 1.9 km (18:25 / km)
QOC: Patuxent River Park, MD. I set out 5 gallons of water at 2 water stops. I had again walked out on a trail with the 5 gallons, then jogged the remaining 2 to a wooded location.
12 PM
Orienteering 5:00 [3] 5.5 km (55 / km)
QOC: Patuxent River Park, MD. It was embarrassing for Jon Torrance to have just finished the Goat course I'd set, and one of the controls near the end had been misplaced. I went out to check it out. I had been worried about this one. I'd checked it out twice near the end of the day with it being darkish and the quality of my home printed map hadn't been that good. When I saw Valerie's printing of the map, while watching and waiting for runners to come through, I got to worrying a little. Sorry to all whom this affected. I moved the control since I'm guessing that relatively few runners had gotten to it. It did however affect the Goat, Green and Brown courses.
3 PM
Orienteering (Control Pickup) 35:00 [3] *** 2.9 km (12:04 / km)
spiked:5/5c
QOC: Patuxent River Park, MD. I picked-up controls in the center of the park. These were spaced out than most of the others, and across some very flat areas. I hit them all well and felt I was running pretty well too.
Orienteering (Control Pickup) 12:00 [3] *** 0.89 km (13:29 / km)
spiked:3/3c
QOC: Patuxent River Park, MD. Dan Quinn had left a couple of controls. He went out without a compass the first time so we were both splitting-up what he'd left. I looped over to check on the ones he had after I got mine.
4 PM
Orienteering (Control Pickup) 6:00 [3] 0.45 km (13:20 / km)
QOC: Patuxent River Park, MD. Dan Quinn and I picked-up another control each. My legs were getting crampy again but didn't seize-up like they did after getting home yesterday.

11 AM
Orienteering (Course Setting) 7:10:00 16.5 km (26:04 / km)
slept:5.0 weight:180.5lbs
Patuxent River Park, MD. I set out 51 controls. It was pushing darkness by the time I was done. I was a bit rushed at the end. I wanted to triple check a couple of control sites but didn't get to. My map was hard to read due to printing quality and the poor light so I ended up misplacing one. For another control, I brought a bag/flag, but left an epunch box. I had to leave that for the next morning. On the way home, I pigged-out gobbling up a lot of potato chips, and having missed lunch. At home, after dinner, I had a couple of bouts of bad leg cramps. They started after trying to get up from dinner. I had to lay down on the floor till they wore off.

7 AM
Bicycling (Commute) 37:30 [3] 12.1 mi (3:06 / mi)
slept:4.5 weight:180.5lbs
From Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD, to 13th & C St. SW, Washington, D.C. I was a little more tired today. Starting out it was around 55 F and downtown there was a slight headwind along the river. I got a pull partway from around Massachusetts Ave. to Fletcher's Boathouse but I felt I was pushing too hard. I backed-off before redlining. Two other guys who were moving very fast passed me just before Georgetown but on Water St. where they slowed, I got ahead again.
6 PM
Bicycling (Commute) 42:10 [3] 11.9 mi (3:33 / mi)
From 13th & C St. SW, Washington, D.C., to Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD. Leaving just at 6pm, before the gate closed, I moved well. There was a slight tailwind on Ohio Dr. I caught the other woman from USDA whom I pulled for yesterday. She tagged along for a while but we got separated in pedestrian traffic by the Kennedy Center. I got pulled along the flats a mile out of Georgetown but again needed to slow as I was going up the hill. I was carrying my laptop which made it all the harder to keep up.
