Red Day 2 at Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch. Another good run with about 2.5 minutes of error. A shaky start with errors on 1 and 3. Comparing splits, my route choice to 9 (up to the road and attack from the trail jct/green blob) cost about a minute. A long course with lots of running across meadows. Unfortunately, my legs were dead after about 30 minutes. 6th for the day in M45, 11th on Red, and 5th in M45 for the combined (3rd overall on M45 if you just count North Americans).

Day 2 Red - Splits

Red course on Day 1 of Colorado 5 Day. Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch map (northern part). A very good run with only about a 1 minute error on one control. 3rd M45 (of ~18), 7th overall on Red. Typical Colorado stuff - lots of wide open running, most controls in rocky areas, and less oxygen than I'm used to. Sunny and 70's.

Day 1 Red - Splits

Event: 2007 USOF Convention and Colorado 5-Days
 

An acclimatization hike near Colorado Springs. Did a loop from the Palmer Trail/Section 16 trailhead. Starting elevation about 6600', max elevation about 7900'. Hiked at Janet's pace (slow for me on the uphills, 2.5 - 3 mph going downhill). Great hike with several views of Colorado Springs and out into the plains. Thunderstorms came up about an hour after we were finished - saw lightening strike the ridge we had been on! I guess there's good reason to hike early in the day.

Travel Day - relatively uneventful flights ALB-ATL-COS.

Kennedy Park in Lenox, MA. Hot day but not too humid. Probably about 80F in the woods. Didn't push too hard. Plenty of hills.
