Looking ahead: Rare weekend off from racing next week as i head down to FL to visit my parents.

Further off I'm not sure exactly where I'll be racing in April, I'm planning to compete in at least a couple of Orienteering meets. There are a couple of national level meets in the area, which would be fun to race at. The BIG race of the month is the River (Rivah!) 10 mile on April 11. I'm the asst. to the RD and oversee the timing and scoring that the DRC masterfully handles.
