| Must have strained someting in my back during the fall yesterday. Deep breaths hurt in the lower back. No rib pain, and nothing out of the ordinary in terms of motion induced pain...just the breathing. |

| Down and around at Loch Raven. Took the down part literally when I tripped and did a superman in an especially rocky section. Scraped my palms, fingers, and got a small cut on my forearm. Bled all over the shirt. Got a stick in the nose yesterday in sprint #1. More bloodletting than usual this weekend. |

| WOC Tour day 6, 1:10000, Himmelbjerget, near Silkeborg, DK. Same terrain as the WOC Relay. They saved the thickest, steepest area for last. Lots of veg to deal with today. Control 4 on a small marsh was especially well hidden in the high grass. Also I went downhill in the reentrant at #8 because others were going that way when I knew the clue said top end. Going waaay around 8-9 would have been 1:30 faster than the straight route which was thick and climbey. Course length was 4.5 km. No rain today, but warmer. |

| WOC Tour day 5, Gjern Bakker, 1:10000. Same area as the Middle Distance Final. Probably my best race all week. Ran pretty well against several other WOC qual rejects from other national teams. They were out of clue sheets at the start so had to use the ones on the map. How can you have fewer printed clue sheets than maps?? N end of the course felt very scandinavian, with open and wooded marsh running to small "islands." Rain again. Course length was 6.3km |

| WOC Tour day 4, Open 1 course, Londal Skov near Silkeborg, DK. Same area as Long Final. Pretty good race...a couple of mistakes early then very clean through the last 2/3. Passed Ri, the North Korean guy about halfway through. Had talked to him at dinner a couple of times, since he was eating in the cafe at our accomodations.1:10000 scale helped. Lots of trail running. Rain. Striaght line length was 8.1km. |
