Saw first ever bear yesterday evening in Town park. The best!

Loop 1 at Blue Mt. Easy pace. 1min 30 mistake at 4. I think 6 & 9 were missing. Ate too close to this, too. Very cool place. Campsite is disappointing. A tip for anybody who comes here....don't book plot 20! it's the only one with no shade (otherwise the campsite is excellent). Both tents blew away today in a squall (someone kindly rescued them as we had to go to Colorado Springs). Ripped a load of holes in the Dyneema tent. Going to spend tomorrow patching. GRRRR. This on top of finding out my warranty ran out on the car. It's leaking coolant. Today was pants boys.
NB. The Orienteering was the dogs bollocks.

3x1mile Hills. All 8mins. Up Sunshine Mesa Rd. Felt good.
Looking forward to an Orienteering extravaganza at Blue Mountain this week.

6x1k. Intervals at Vance Junction. Not particularly speedy, but felt good today.

Supposed to be a double, legs are trashed. Switched to tomorrow.

Illium Valley Floor. Very Easy shakeout. Very heavy legs.

Steady up Penelope. Procrastinated on this. Knees were squeaky this morning. Slowly got into this and enjoyed it.

C • Cruz? 2

Nice LSD almost to Imogene Pass. Ran out of time and had to bail about 1/2 mile from the top. Supposed to run with Brittany and Dave but their warm up through town put me off completely. Way too brisk for me. I'd hoped to make the Pass and then follow the arête to Telluride Peak. But the window for this run was way too tight.

Early text this morning to ride Prospect (plus Jurassic and Meadows) with Brent. Legs are trashed now. Foolishly agreed to switch the LSD to tomorrow. That could be ugly.
