Started running out of steam on Overlook trail. Good news: I didn't get passed on the plunge down Thunderbolt (and I passed two!); and no falls! Aid station splits: 51:15; 1:13:33; 1:40:20; 1:50:02 (summit). |

Sunday Jun 9 |
| Orienteering 1:35:08 [4] 6.1 mi (15:35 / mi) | |
| |
| Breakheart Reservation meet. Very dense vegetation made for slow going. Tried to be careful and deliberate with mapreading but still made one bonehead mistake costing 5 minutes, and a couple 1 minute mistakes (and a couple sub-optimal route choices). But no injuries for a change! (I think NEOC added about twelve minutes to my time - starter error? - but not worth making a fuss.) |
Saturday Jun 8 |
| Trail Run 1:15:23 [3] 8.0 mi (9:24 / mi) | |

Wednesday Jun 5 |
| Trail/Road Run 31:49 [3] 4.2 mi (7:33 / mi) | |

Sunday Jun 2 |
| Orienteering 1:45:14 [4] 6.0 mi (17:32 / mi) | |
| |
| WCOC meet at Ansonia Nature Center. Red, 6.0k. Bashed my knee (again) on a rock going to 3, and then hobbled around course making lots of mistakes (at least 20 minutes). Enjoyable anyway, but getting frustrated with my poor orienteering. |
