| I ran the BEAST stage 3 bike course at Fort Ebey and the Kettle trails to put out the orienteering markers. Given the sometimes muddy single track and the steep ups and downs going into and out of the many kettle depressions, I was able to run the course, including stops to hang the controls, faster than the teams biked it. I had the advantage of being fresh, which enabled me to do the course at a higher intensity, and of knowing ahead of time where to go. The moderately hard fartlek running felt good. Total time with control setting, through control 14, was about 65 minutes (probably 57 running time). I did another 25 minutes of easy jogging--out and back 7 minutes, then 18 to the finish--as a cool down. |

| Moderately hard fartlek run while setting the hilly bike-O course at Fort Ebey. What fun terrain! The logged time is excluding all the little stops I made to hang controls. The actual distance was about 7.5 miles (11.5 km + some extra for unmapped zig-zags in the trails), according to my rough measurement in OCAD. |
| Orienteering 25:00 [12]* 2.6 km (9:37 / km) +100m 8:04 / km | |

| I jogged part way back to a control and then to the finish at the Beach Shelter at Fort Ebey. |

| I had wanted to do a short run today, but I didn't have time, because I was so busy preparing for and putting on the first stage of the race formerly known as the BEAST 15 Hour. |
