Drove and parked off of MacArthur on Potomac Ave near Palisades Farmer's Market. Zig zagged along that street thinking I'd take trolley trail to Reservoir Rd, but failed and ended up taking the rocky BK trail to Fletchers. Found about a dozen hoppers doing striders and decided I wasn't warmed up enough to race. It was also clear many had no barcodes, so I wanted to record accurate times. Settled in next to Alexandra Ezrow for the first several minutes and then dropped back to accompany Zoe and Charlotte for a minute or so before doubling back around 7:15. Ran back alone and foolishly stopped my watch once back, around 14:25. Used an official's timer reaching 16:00 to restart my watch and stood, reading off finishing times for Hoppers who all looked fit, most of whom had tempoed. Eventually, jogged a cooldown with them to the trestle bridge and back, catching more leaves to reach 98 for the season. (6 today) Chatted with team and Freddy Ortega for a bit longer and then jogged back to car via Reservoir Rd and the MacArthur Mews next to the old GDS/River School. Lovely, blustery day and sorry that I didn't have time to run longer before going to the Washington Spirit's exciting semi-final playoff victory over FC Gotham. Rise Up!
