| blue at WCOC's trout brook valley. nice fast terrain. steady downpour in the beginning, but that eased up after half an hour or so. stopped my watch for about a minute between 3&4 when I paused to take off my long underwear top. |

| ahr:174 max:181 slept:6.0 shoes: Adidas Resp Tr X |
| manchester rd race, 60F and humid. official time 31:22, chip time 28:45. I had to start way in the back which was frustrating. in order to avoid being even further back I had to stand there for 20 minutes before the start, which meant no good warmup. even after crossing the start line it was pretty jammed up. wasted a lot of energy zig-zagging and running around people off the road on grass and sidewalk. trail running shoes not the best for road racing. I guess I'm happy with the time considering all that...probably the first mile could have been a minute faster, and the second and third each 30s faster.
splits:
6:28 (people), 6:30 (hill), 6:05, 5:36, 4:09 (3/4 mile) |

| whacked/scraped just below my right knee on a rock during the traverse. I'm pretty sure its all superficial but the big scab makes it difficult to bend my knee fully. no problems running. |

| Orienteering 24:38 [4] *** 3.6 km (6:51 / km) | |
| ahr:175 spiked:9/11c shoes: VJ Falcon Spikes |
| fun event on the little blue hill map. in a pack with ross, leif, grant s, and a finnish guy the whole time...never leading though, I felt tired most of the way. spent a fair amount of time waiting for punches. after a mad dash down the last hill and a lucky glimpse, I was first to the last control, and edged out ross on a good sprint in. |
