Blue middle at Vasquez. I love this place. Had an awesome run, mostly nailed everything except one control (#9), which I blew 2+ minutes on. Didn't see a fork in the trail on either the map or in the terrain, so I ended up searching too high in an area that perfectly paralleled the area below. Finished 2nd three minutes behind James, and a couple minutes in front of Joe.
Ran into a nice blizzard on the way back up to home. Chains on for the last 80 miles, which took forever. The road wasn't too bad since it was cold and all fluff, but it was blowing everywhere so visibility was zero. Had to actually just stop in the road a few times when I couldn't even see the ground right in front of me, let alone which direction the road was going. Not so good with the dropoffs on either side. We've got about 8" at home so far, and apparently the storm hasn't even gotten here yet.
