Orienteering race (Night O green 1) 1:15:21 [4] *** 5.2 km (14:29 / km) +110m 13:06 / km
spiked:9/11c shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 1
2007 Night O championships. I would have won no matter how long I took, as long as I finished, since no one else on F50 was running. :-) As it was, I was a little low on the hill for # 7, and hesitated going into # 10 (though I was where I thought I was; however, in the dark if there's extra stuff in the terrain that's not on the map, you might double-check). Total time lost maybe 1:30.
Saw lots of others' lights out there, and people at some of the controls. It was quite dark, but my lights worked well (Petzl headlamp with an incandescent bulb, plus a little mini LED lamp for reading the map and distinguishing the white from the yellow, which really helped).

Walking hills 1:00:00 [1] 1.6 mi (37:30 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 #2
Walked along the Gunnison River below Morrow Point Dam (out and back); the canyon gets pretty narrow here. No water coming over the spillway (probably a good thing) :-) . There's a hydro plant here too. Cool and breezy, with the most breeze just below the dam.
Rest of the day was spent driving back to Colo Springs, so we could eat and get up to Elbert for the night-o.
