orienteering 40:51 intensity: (3 @1) + (1:51 @2) + (14:55 @3) + (22:59 @4) + (1:03 @5) *** 5.55 km (7:21 / km) +102m 6:44 / km
ahr:147 max:179 spiked:14/15c

Morning course at Perry Riffle. Good map by Ben, terrain was pretty nice. Rolling knee high grass everywhere, with about 50/50 between open fields and sparse trees, and a few big stream reentrants to play in.
2 PM

orienteering 1:09:27 intensity: (7 @0) + (57 @1) + (14:49 @2) + (31:09 @3) + (22:25 @4) *** 6.26 km (11:06 / km)
ahr:140 max:159 spiked:6/6c

Afternoon course, this time in pairs, alternating legs and talking out loud what we're thinking as we navigate. I ran with Tim, an AR guy from Redding, and we did quite good. A bit tired by this point, so we were running slower and not making too many mistakes, but verbalizing everything definitely helped.
4 PM

orienteering 16:04 intensity: (46 @1) + (3:38 @2) + (10:04 @3) + (1:36 @4) *** 1.85 km (8:40 / km)

ahr:149 max:184 spiked:15/18c

Night-o set by Jim at Red Bluff diversion dam (up by Redding). The map was almost totally flat, so navigation was by mostly by vegetation - huge single trees in tallish open grassland. Had the new taiwan ghetto headlamp, which worked quite well.

ahr:137 max:155 shoes: 09 rossi max 180s

lovely ski across mid mountain td. sunny and warm. came straight down the powerline, which I think is the first time I've ever done that. a few steep places and a few flat ones, but the crust was perfect.

ahr:151 max:166

run through prosser with Donatas. got huge stomach cramps for the second half, likely as a result of trying to stuff myself full of water after yesterday.

BAOC Sunol - Blue.
So for a good portion of this course all I could really think was: who exactly in baoc thinks this is a good idea. and why. The walk to the start had 200m of climb. In the first 3.5 legs all we did was climb straight uphill - maybe 350m in 1.5k. Then we had 10 legs sidehilling across a 45 degree slope. Not to mention the poison oak in all the gullies. It was totally worth driving down there for.

On a positive note I'm pretty sure I saw a mountain lion on the way to 4. It was tan and huge (person sized?), and had a long skinny tail, but disappeared pretty quick into a thicket 100m above me while I was climbing the hill. I looked in when I got up there, but only saw Jonathan's friend climbing right through the middle of it. He didn't get mauled, which I suppose was good, but no sign of the lion.

Also its crazy hot and humid down there. I've officially lost any sort of desert acclimitization I had from LA, and got pretty dehydrated from just an hour and a half. And I suck at taking splits on the garmin, I got about half of them.
