French O-week 2nd long day with a chasing start. Last day. This was another tough day with 230 climb. A couple controls that were straight up some crazy steep hills...like I am on all fours. Today was really fun though because I waited for Ali at 1 and we did the course together. We were both out of the chase so we decided more moral support for all that climb would make it much more enjoyable. We only made one couple minute mistake that took us up to the edge of a crazy high cliff! Then we had to scamper around another cliff. Pretty sure we got pulled off our line because the line we should have taken was again really steep up.

Fun O-Week with great friends and spectacular vistas and terrain. It has been a while since I did and O trip. Forgot how fun it is.

French O-week 2nd middle race. Started really late today. I was excited only to have 115 m climb. The course was fast for me with lots of elephant trails to follow made the side hill running much faster. Some downhill ski slope controls at the end were boring but fast. Had a few minutes mistakes on 3...too high on the hill.

French O-week long day that was delayed a day. Climbed the biggest hill above tree line. 20 contours. A bunch of rock slides made it really hard to see the contours. And the 1:15,000 scale didn't help. I messed up #4 and had to relocate. Other than that it was just a slog fest.

Walk up to the start. Up is good for a walk to the start.

France O-week middle day 2. Took the chair lift up to a mountain lake. There were some steep hillsides but not too painful.
