| Ratlum Mtn. Prologue. Since I had to get back to Northampton for Adam's piano recital, I started early. Tropical conditions, full sun. A pretty clean run, just some small misses, medium-hard effort. No hip trouble! |
| Orienteering (sprint) 25:42 [3]1.7 km (15:07 / km) | |
| |
| The "chase", but I had to do it on my own. Didn't feel like putting out much effort in the vegetation; and some bigger misses, totalling at least 2, maybe 3, minutes. |

| Orienteering 1:11:00 [2]5 km (14:12 / km) | |
| |
| At Mt. Tom, low 80's at 10:00. A lot of walking, especially when I managed to get lost (once again) in the Northeast Kingdom. |
| Orienteering 24:02 [3]2.7 km (8:54 / km) | |
| |
| Billygoat sprint from last year. Well, calling it a "sprint" would be an abuse of language; but it was good training to do this in the heat when I was already physically and mentally tired. Watch battery finally died right after I finished, so no splits. |

| 95 degree heat meant bag the plan to run at Mt. Tom. Did the Westhampton-Leeds loop at a good pace, especially considering it was nowhere near all out. 18 miles, 18 mph. 23:00, 39:31. |

| Juggler out and back. Felt sluggish in the heat: mid-80's, somewhat humid. (But no doubt there's worse to come!) Some improvement in the legs, but still slow. 9:12, 10:25, 7:31 (27:10), 7:35, 9:57, 8:08 (25:42). |
