 | Orienteering race 51:04 [4]6.6 km (7:44 / km) | |
| spiked:11/13c |
| Day 2. Another really good run, though I lost about two minutes, one each on #2 and #3. The altiutde didn't bother me as much, but I didn't have as much zip in the legs. Soundly beaten by Rich Kelley, but still the second best time on green for the day. Finished second M50, and second on Green, for the two-day with third over 8 minutes behind. |

| Mountain biking around Peaceful Valley, including a stop to try archery (I sucked). Started the bike-O course, but had to cut it short when the thunderstorm rolled in. |

| Orienteering race 47:05 [4]*** 6.5 km (7:15 / km) | |
| spiked:12/13c |
| Day 1 of Colorado 5-day and of a two-day A-meet at Peaceful Valley
Scout Ranch. I loved this map and terrain! Some lightly forested technical areas with boulders and cliffs surrounded by lots of open field running. I had an excellent run navigationally, with just one 15 second miss on a reentrant in an open area. I felt like the altitude and heat really slowed me down, though you wouldn't know it from the per k time. My legs were rested and I pushed hard. Time was tied with Rich Kelley for best M50, and best on Green 2. |

| Leeds loop, in 90 degree heat and high humidity. Mostly, took it nice and easy. This will end my streak of 38 days of loggable aerobic exercise. Tomorrow is a travel day. |

| Orienteering 1:00:43 [3]5.7 km (10:39 / km) | |
| |
| Redid the Mt Tom course from 2000 that I did a month ago. I wasn't moving faster (it was hot!), but being more accurate (spiked them all) and choosing better routes, shaved 10 minutes off. There was the usual carnage at the back of the hat. |

| Orienteering 51:41 [3]4.6 km (11:14 / km) +175m 9:26 / km | |
| |
| Decided it would be too risky to do a 5k race with my quad not right and Colorado just a few days away. So I did the Brown course from my 2005 meet at Mt Tom. No misses, but I felt very slow in the terrain, and overall rusty. It didn't help that it was getting dark: sun sets earlier on the east side of the mountain. |
| Road Run 6:30 [2]0.75 mi (8:39 / mi) | |

| Gate to the start and back after. |
Monday Jul 30 |
| Trail Run 42:39 [2]5.0 mi (8:31 / mi) | |
| |
| Outer loop plus one extra lap around the dirt track, after lifting. Very muggy: DP 70. Relaxed pace because I'm thinking of doing the race tomorrow. |
