Camp Tamarancho with Go Salamander. GS showed me some of Marin's great singletrack and led a strong pace throughout the ride. The rental 29'er hardtail was great.



Too tired afterwards to join GS on the Giant's win of the world series (Detroit loses again - eff!).
GPS tracks to be uploaded soon.

After an *exciting* day of training on data standards for regulatory submission I was dying to get out for a run due to warm temps in the 20's.

Baltimore (aka Bodymore) doesn't have the best reputation and I was a little worried about running too far from the Inner Harbor tourist area. But there was nothing that could hold me back from making this a destination run seeing as one of (if not THE) best show on TV was filmed here.

I wasn't going to venture into West Baltimore to see Hamsterdam or East Baltimore to scope out Marlo's hangout but since I was on the water I was determined to see some of the highlights from Season 2 - mostly featuring the waterfront dock area.

I wasn't sure what to expect as the kms clicked by (...I kept a little in the tank should this turn into a tempo run). However, 75% of the run was within at least 500 metres of a Starbucks (my litmus test for a safe area in the US) and I knew I didn't need to worry. After running by the cafe where "The Greek" meetup was my destination run met it's destination turnaround - the Major Crimes Unit - one of the recognizable landmarks of the Wire where all the wire taps took place. It's a little more run down and smaller than I expected.


On the way back it was more Wire landmarks like the docks where the union guys worked.

I took a less direct approach on the way back and zig-zagged around the many docks along boardwalks, cobblestones and brick-lined running lanes seeing an incredible amount of runners... Haven't seen this many runners out since Honolulu? Suddenly my tempo reserve was shifted from dodging bullets to not get dusted my fellow runners.

Here til Thursday. Hopefully more safe Wire runs.
