| DVOA A-meet, red, on Hogencamp map. Great map, nice course with mix of short and long legs. Started well, getting through nine of thirteen controls with only a 15 second miss on 3, then fell apart losing 10 minutes on 10 and 8 minutes on 12. Late in a race, I seem to get mentally impatient (because physically tired?), and it leads to poor decisions and poor mapreading. The mistakes always seem so obvious in retrospect! |

| Orienteering at Norwottuck, northside, easy pace, steady rain. Lost about 5 minutes on a parallel trail error, otherwise OK. The mapping of rock features is sometimes absurdly inconsistent. |

| Dirt track around Smith fields, alternating slow, fast, ... Did three fast (about .75 mile each, or a bit less) in 4:49, 4:40, 4:37. MHR 160. Right foot, joint of big toe at ball of foot, still hurting. Can't roll off the toe so I'm forced to run more on the outside of my foot. Not good. |

| At Smith. Bike 16, crosstrainer (Precor) 20, plus lifting. Nursing a sore right foot (big toe joint) that bothered me all weekend - and keeping dry. |

| US relay champs, 8 point NEOC team with Jeff, Sam, and Charlie. Came in third behind UNO and WCOC. I ran the mass start orange. Tired legs from yesterday, but a good effort. The only time I've run a course continuously hard without stopping except to punch. Followed Kristin (and Co.) for first two controls. (Only mistake was on the way to two: missed to the right and hit a trail, losing maybe 20 seconds.) I lost the lead group on the way to 3 (uphill!) but could still see someone in red (Kevin?); lost him on the way to four. I kept up a decent pace the rest of the way without any misses. |
