Ice-O Day 1. A really fun sprint in Hafnarfjörður, not too difficult but with a few route choice legs and some trickier pockets of complicated rocky parkish areas hidden among the neighborhoods. Hooked 12 slightly, maybe 5-10s lost, and was a bit confused on the way to 13, but chose solid routes for the most part, though right to 12 may have been better, hard to tell. Got crushed by one Scandiboi by like 2min and was some 20s behind another.

UW Street Scramble, one week late. Surprisingly (to myself, at least) I did *not* clear the course; I bailed from UW with 6 or 7 close-in low-pointers left and headed for home. I was feeling hot and dehydrated, and at that point was close to 3h anyway. Though the distance is not particularly high, the terrain, as it were, is slow - lots of traffic and stoplights, plus some high-pedestrian/non-bikeable areas like U Village and the Greenlake docks. However, my biggest handicap was the fact that I had only a map, rather than map plus separate answer sheet as per usual - meaning that at every checkpoint I had to arduously unfold the giant map to read the answer sheet on the back, and refold before continuing; my usual silky smooth technique was shot all to hell.
