Rocky Mountain Goat on Diamond Bay map. A fine ending to a week of orienteering in the Laramie Range. With Soupbone most of the way - we tied for 16th place. Lots of rock features, plenty of sage and lots of opportunity to run (if only there were more oxygen). Good weather for running, partly cloudy, low 70's and breezy (="windy" anyplace other than Wyoming). Straight line distance 12.2 km.

Western States Championships Day 2 - Green course. Pelican Bay map. Very nice course in somewhat more technical terrain. Far less open field running than yesterday. But, a disappointing run. Seemed to be off line on most of the controls, so lots of 1- 2 minute errors. Also not the best route choice on the long leg. Shoulda coulda been under an hour. Dropped to 4th for 2 day total time. Straightline distance 6.7 km with 180m climb.

Orienteering race 54:50 intensity: (12 @1) + (37 @2) + (26:28 @3) + (27:33 @4) *** 6.68 km (8:13 / km) +217m 7:04 / km

Western States Champs Day 1 - Green course. Plains of Despair map. Lots of running across open areas. A good run. Missed the first non-trivial control (#2) for about a 1 min loss, then hit all the others. A few hesitations and not quite optimal routes, but good otherwise. 2nd in M55, ~5th on Green. 6.0 km straightline with 265 m climb.

Laramie Daze 4 - Pitcher Hill map (1:15000). Mostly wide open running across either short grass prarie or sage meadows, so a bit of follow-the-leader. And as usual, the bags were hung high. Flip-flopped with Soupbone and bgr. Rick B spotted us a couple of minutes at #4 then passed us back on the 7-8-9 leg. Wanted to take things a bit easier today so did some walking and avoided any foot races to the finish. 10th overall. Sunny (with some haze from wildfire smoke?), 70's and a bit more breeze than we've been having. Another very fine Daze day.

One Cowboy Relay (motala) on Gates of AMT Hell map. Four ~1 km loops followed by a longer 1.6 km loop. The first four loops were shuffled (24 possibilities) and then everyone did the same final loop. My order: BDAC. Learning from last years version of this event, I worked on being careful in the early loops and not get drawn off to other bags. I was mostly successful, although I did check a few that I wasn't looking for at the time. Also had a few less than optimum route choices. Ended up 10th overall, good enough for a prize (a bottle of Perrier water). Another fine day of orienteering in the Laramie Range.

Laramie Daze 2, Middle Crow's Toe. 1:15,000/5m

Another fine day of orienteering in Laramie. Mass start with a 1.2 km mostly dirt road run to the first control, a couple of turning controls, then a 1.7 km leg back, and finishing up with 6 shortish and more technical legs. Major screw-up on the second long leg which cost about 8 minutes and several places. Also bobbled #9 a bit. Warm and sunny again. Same level of oxygen as yesterday.
