| Long course day of U.S. Team Trials. I had a solid run today, with just a few hesitations and misses. I was apparently not mentally into orienteering at the beginning, because it was a struggle to maintain map contact for the first few controls, where I felt clumsy and halting. My technique smoothed out, and my legs felt reasonably good until the uphill long leg just before the finish. For some reason, my heart rate was pretty low today, remaining in the low-to-mid 150s for most of the last half of the race. |
| Cycling (mtb meadow / trail) 57:00 [2]7.7 mi (7:24 / mi) +200m 4:15 / km | |
| ahr:143 |
| Rode from the race site at Pelican Bay back to Yellow Pine Campground, including a hike-a-bike across a rugged canyon (maybe the "Gates of Hell" on the map by the same name), then a bumpy ride up a broad spur through the meadows, I think on the Plains of Despair map. The ride finished off with a little dirt road and some nice, meandering single-track. I was a bit nervous about the lightning in the sky, but it stayed several miles clear of where I was riding. |

| ahr:161 max:174 |
| Ran the Middle Distance day of the U.S. World Champs Team Trails. I had a good run, except for control number 13, where I lost contact with the map in the space of about 30 meters and lost 2-3 minutes. |

| Kayaking at Hattie Lake with Dave Miner. It was a beautiful day. We had a stiff headwind on the way out, but the wind had died down on our way back, so we had less of a tailwind. We circled the lake and did a little extra loop at the end (about 15-20 minutes). |

| Ran Blue course at Middle Crow's Toe. I went pretty easy, which caused my brain to relax, as well. After losing time in hesitations early in the course, I buckled down during the second half and navigated pretty well. My calves were sore before the run, but my legs felt reasonably good during the run. |
| Cycling (mtb single track, etc.) 1:37:30 [2]17.4 mi (5:36 / mi) +400m 3:15 / km | |
| ahr:135 max:147 |
| Rode from event site at Middle Crow's Toe to Laramie, via Telephone Song map, where I got a bit lost and ran afoul of a huge flock of sheep and their sheep dog guardians. After overshooting and a bike whack over a rocky ridge, I rode through some sagey hillside and down to an at-times-faint single track trail, which got really sandy down near the bottom of the slope, where I had to push my bike a fair amount. I eventually got on roads and cruised the last few miles into town to meet Terry and Louise. |

| I ran the Prolog pretty cleanly, but my legs felt tired, especially toward the end of the course, and I felt like I was moving slowly. I was 3rd behind Leif Anderson (18:36) and Robbie Paddock (19:17). |
