Running (Warm-up) 5:00 [2] 0.4 mi (12:30 / mi)
Warm-up for Day 4 of the Ash Festival on the New, New Blue Mountain, CO map.
Orienteering (Competition) 1:02:52 [4] 8.81 km (7:08 / km) +450m 5:41 / km
spiked:11/13c
Day 4 of the Ash Festival on the New, New Blue Mountain, CO map. Starting 4 minutes behind Rich Kelly and 1 1/2 behind Jan Ingebrigtsen, I caught sight of Jan at the first control. He and I caught Rich somewhere around the 5th or 6th control, then started to leave him behind after #10. Jan was hurting us on the hills however at #11 I got in the lead and opened it on the way to #12. On the way to #13 just nearing the end, I looked back and saw Jan on a ridge to my right. Doubting myself, I went into the reentrant between us, coming out to the road and turning left as Jan caught me. Fumbling about a bit, Jan saw Rich descending a straight route and we both aimed to intersect with Rich getting there first, then Jan, then me. It was overall fun for me and probably entertaining for the crowd at the finish. It was dissapointing to lose it this way (I should have trusted my line) but fun running with Jan and Rich on the nice Colorado terrain.

Running (Warm-up) 5:00 [2] 0.4 mi (12:30 / mi)
Warm-up for Day 3 of the Ash Festival on the TMFKABM, CO map.
Orienteering (Competition) 59:45 [4] 8.42 km (7:06 / km) +245m 6:12 / km
spiked:8/13c
Day 3 of the Ash Festival on the TMFKABM, CO map. I caught and passed Rich Kelly at control #3, paused just before #4, and ran down the wrong reentrant at #5. Rich caught me there and we traded leads as I bobbled #9 and #10. On the climb back to #12, Rich went straight up the hill but a bit to the right. I went around the knoll to the left and got ahead for good, running the whole way up the long climb to #13 and the finish.

Running (Warm-up) 5:00 [2] 0.5 mi (10:00 / mi)
Warm-up for Day 2 of the Ash Festival at Round Mountain.
Orienteering (Competition) 59:45 [4] 7.93 km (7:32 / km) +200m 6:41 / km
Day 2 of the Ash Festival on the Round Mountain, CO map. I felt sluggish on the outward climb of the loop but felt good coming back on the downhill return. I lost most of the time looking for #8 but also had problems with #10 and #11 to lose about 9 minutes.
Hiking (Trail) 1:45:00 [2] 4.2 mi (25:00 / mi)
Waiting for the BBQ to start, Peggy and I explored Fossil National Monument by hiking part of the Petrified Tree loop then doing the long version of the Sawmill Trail loop. It was a bit hot but not too hilly or hard.

Running (Warm-up) 10:00 [2] 0.5 mi (20:00 / mi)
Warm-up for Day 1 of the Ash Festival on the Manitou Lake, CO map.
Orienteering (Competition) 52:12 [4] 5.31 km (9:50 / km) +205m 8:14 / km
spiked:7/11c
Day 1 of the Ash Festival on the Manitou Lake, CO map. I ran straight a lot instead of using the contours like I should have. I missed #3 and #6, then lost some time with an inefficient route to #9. Luckily most other people had trouble too and I was only about 4 minutes out of first on the Red course.

Running (Warm-up) 5:00 [2] 0.5 mi (10:00 / mi)
Warm-up on the Round Mountain, CO map to get ready for the Prologue. The elevation was around 8,200ft. and I felt it some.
Orienteering (Competition) 17:54 [4] 2.9 km (6:10 / km)
spiked:8/10c
Prologue sprint on Round Mountain, CO. I started almost 34 minutes in and had a long line of people to chase almost the whole way. I lost some time at Puma Rocks on #4 but was pleased--running straight mostly seemed to work.
Running (Warm-up) 5:00 [2] 0.4 mi (12:30 / mi)
Warm-up for the Chase on Round Mountain, CO. I didn't need to warm-up much due to waiting around in the heat of the day for the noonish start.
Orienteering (Competition) 1:01:37 [4] 8.16 km (7:33 / km) +280m 6:27 / km
spiked:10/12c
On the Badger Gulch map in CO adjacent to the Round Mountain map; I started the Chase in 7th almost 2 minutes behind Eric Bone and 2nd or 3rd in M40. I lost one spot to Eddie and gained another from one of the M40's to finish in 7th again. I ran w/Natalia Faye at a few controls and almost got caught by Randy and Ted but pulled away from them at a water stop and ahead of Natalia in the last 3 controls. I felt the altitude. I also got a bad blister from using a new but too thin sock that let my foot move around too much in my shoes which I was still breaking-in from the time of the QOC Beer Chase.

Swimming (River) 5:00 [1]
On the South Fork of the Payette River (Class IV?-II). On a raft trip with Mary Jones, Mike Eglinski, Dan Meenehan and Dick Neuburger we paused to splash around a bit. Dan had the initiative to jump off a 15ft. cliff into the 60F river and I followed. It was very fun!
Running (Street & Trail) 7:44 [3] 1.1 mi (7:02 / mi)
In Boise, ID, a small loop from the hotel near the airport just to loosen-up. It was hot.
