Bicycling 30:00 [2]
Trail Running (Warm up/cool down) 30:00 [2] 3.0 km (10:00 / km)
O - competition (NA Champs Green 2) 1:15:08 [4] 6.0 km (12:31 / km)
spiked:16/18c
Much more deliberate and focused. Slowed down a bit and concentrated on every attackpoint. Made a bad route choice to #14, went along the north hill top to avoid green. The hill top was kind of crummy and the leg cost me 3 minutes. Other than that, no mistakes.
Ended up 1st M-55 for weekend.

O - competition (NA Champs Green) 1:26:46 [4] 5.7 km (15:13 / km)
spiked:12/18c
Didn't focus hard enough and got caught by some confusing areas on the map. Serious errors totaled 22 min for a dismal performance. Resolved to concentrate more and to pay attention to map and terrain detail!

So what's this climbing over logs with your feet locked into the pedals?
Score: logs 2; tree 1; rider 0
Got to get a new helmet.

O - competition (Rogaine) 10:56:20 [3] 49.0 km (13:24 / km)
Night got pretty cold as expected -- probably right about freezing. Lightly dressed and got chilled at stops -- so didn't take any breaks except to reload water.
Missed reading the lower road across the slope N of #93 and did a 2 km detour before we got to the control. This was our only signifcant mistake and it forced us to trim 3 controls and 150 pts from our route in to the finish.
Overall felt totally wiped at the end, probably from the altitude and the distance. Would have covered more distance if the shoes had been ok.
Ended up 7th Veterans with 2370 pts. If I were a week older, we would have been 2nd Supervet behind Peter and Fred.
Control sequence: 30/71/80/46/53/64/95/86/47/60/74/96/66/97/77/58 dark 98/57/89/87/76/94/82/55/83/73/62 day 51/84/68/88/56/93/63/70 HH
Great job by the organizers for a fine meet!

O - competition (Rogaine) 13:00:00 [3] 54.0 km (14:27 / km)
Excellent map, control locations spread out, but not technically difficult. Glen Brake and I teamed up again for this one.
Altitude a factor at 9,000 ft. Flew in Friday afternoon, so really didn't acclimate. Developed some serious heel blisters as the shoes were about a half size too big. Hadn't been a problem, since I used thicker socks for training. However, these packed down after a few hours of running and my foot started sliding around in the shoe. Not much skin left on my heel.
Started in the NW fields and went clockwise. Wanted to do the fields first so we could see the gross terrain features for navigation as well as the marsh areas. Also figured the fields would be colder than the woods at night.

Road Running (Rte 11/Cummings) 44:00 [2] 4.5 mi (9:47 / mi)
Bicycling (Chester loop) 30:00 [2]
Haven't busted out the bike in two seasons. Bit rusty and still heavy (30#), but then Peugeot used to make them solid. Got to get the butt in shape for adventure racing.

O - competition (W Pt green 2) 1:49:00 [4] 5.7 km (19:07 / km)
Checked to old map afterwards, and this area around Turkey Hill is quite clearly readable. The ocad/color copy washed out all the detail. It's been said before, but color copies ought to be at 1:10,000.
