| LAOC B meet at Mt. Piņos. Red. I experienced a significant loss of concentration for the first two controlswas it the lack of sleep, the altitude, or both? After that it went OK; knowing the particular places where the map was flaky in advance helped a lot. Still, I made a 6-min error in the middle; one of the mappers made a similar error (but recovered much quicker), that should say something. |

| I ran a 5K on the track at De Anza. I had been planning to run a race on Monday September 2; it was the only day in the fall weekend schedule free of other orienteering and running activities. I entered a 5K in Davis. I decided against going on Sunday because the $50 for the train and $50 for the hotel didn't seem too exciting (them extended European trips do have a downside). Steve Gregg went in my place and ran an 18:18 (as "Vladimir Gusiatnikov"). I guess I owe him 13 seconds (works out to $1.92 per second).
I was quite disappointed about today's outcome (1:43 behind the PR and about the same as 1999; certainly faster than 2000 and 2001 but that doesn't say much). It did not feel hard and I was not tired. Rather, I just settled into 90's pace and did not seem to have a faster gear. |

| Was looking through the office in search for the source of a funny smell. I found about 0.5 kg of cheese molding away underneath the false bottom of my travel bag (the cheap ones, they acquire a false bottom after a while). I've been breathing the stuff for at least a month; it explains the source of Thursday's and today's headaches better than too much training. Hope there aren't little glioblastomas sprouting around. |

| BAOC event at the Presidio, Long Orange. Had almost nothing to eat since yesterday (some Gookinaid) due to my successful morning mass transit experience, and a Safeway that wasn't. That wasn't what got me beat by Syd by 56 seconds; there were a trap, a bingo control, and a genuine map-reading boom during which people stood pointing fingers at me and laughing. |
