5.7 nominal. Good run, much more navigating than yesterday. Missed #4 a bit L on ridge. Spotted boulders on end and flipped around to control. Lost 2 min. On #11 found depression to be a little S of mapped location, after some searching. Lost 1 min. Took a fall at the start -- slipped on the boardwalk when I turned to punch the first control -- really whacked my L ribs. Good news is the hip has receded into 2nd place.

6 km nominal. Rainy and wet. Footing okay,much of the run was on trails and even some dirt roads. Pretty quick throughout, but made a weak route choice to #7 -- cut up early and trail contoured past the pumphouse and then over to the control. Missed #8 to the left and hit the trail as a stopping feature/relocation; but it was a 200 m run back from where I finally hit it. Then ran straight down to the road for #9 and sprinted almost all the way to the control. So lost a couple minutes on #7 and probably 5 on #8.

Felt good; no hip problems at the moment.

Event: UNO Boulder Dash
 

Easy run to loosen up after climbing the roof to clean the chimney. Read the Fox Forest map the whole time, looking at the Billygoat forwards and backwards.

Double pole down to Applied Bolting and back. Felt fine except L forearm felt some strain on the way back. Little rain starting, too, but not a problem as I wasn't going fast. Did discover the brake does not work on a wet tire.

C • forearm 4

Gave hip a rest. Wet so no roller skiing. Went into Pines and cleared saplings from new secondary trail.
