Round 4
ASC ski-o sprint tournament! The favoritest ski-o event of the year. Had ten people this year, though two dropped out of the bracket, so we ended up with two groups of four. Much fun, and I had some good mass start head to head skiing with Jonis and Ali and Jon at various points in the last couple rounds.
Tournament bracket is here, and the whole thing was timed and announced by Siri from the magic SI phone. Worked out great: just hit go, and the app calculates the next rounds groupings, assigns mass starts, counts down to each start out loud by name, then wirelessly auto downloads at the finish control and announces results by name and time as you come in. It's got a few bugs because this was the first time we'd tested the full tournament outside, but I think most of those are solvable.

Event: Sierra Ski-O RG/ASC
9 AM
skate ski 1:19:29 [3] 11.85 km (6:43 / km) +250m 6:04 / km
11c shoes: 13 fischer rcr ski-o (109)
Setting controls for ski-o at RG. Nice and speedy snow, but already warming.
3 PM
skate ski 1:01:29 [3] 8.71 km (7:04 / km) +158m 6:29 / km
5c shoes: 11 madshus curvy red
By the time we got everybody out and anyone back to run timing it was already a pleasant 65 degrees, which made lounging in the sun at the start very awesome, but not so good for skiing. So I skipped racing, because it was going to be a mush fest and my butt still felt broken from the long ski yesterday and this morning. But that meant I got to go pick up the far controls, which involved double poling downhill.

skate ski 3:02:31 [3] 33.3 km (5:29 / km) +604m 5:02 / km
shoes: 13 fischer rcr ski-o (109)
Gipsing trails at Royal Gorge. Warm and toasty out, but still fast for the first two hours. I get such a love/hate relationship every time I ski around this place. Its easily the bestest ski-o terrain around for a multiday event, with a giant (full page 1:15000) area of flatish rolling open forest, with big trails here and there to anchor things, but infinite amounts of rolling patchy forest to set snowmobile trails through. If I had a dream event to organize, it would be a week of ski-o champs at RG, with a solid 15' base, my snowmobile and a weeks worth of gas, and all the logistics and cooperation of Presque Isle.

Note
Today's not-really-orienteering game is Walden. It's an FPS for "experimental game players to lovers of Thoreau and Transcendental literature". Can't say I'm going to try it, but if you're into Thoreau or just wandering around a computer forest it might be worth a look.
3 PM
run 31:22 [3] 2.58 mi (12:09 / mi) +61m 11:19 / mi
Shuffle along the bike path, which hadn't been plowed since Sunday's dump, but had melted a fair bit in some places. Didn't feel great, but I don't think I broke myself more.

hiking 2:31:44 [3] 5.25 km (28:55 / km) +69m 27:09 / km
Snowshoeing some little trails into ASC for this weekend. There's enough snow there that we can actually get through the woods this year without getting stuck on giant boulders.
Been sick for a few days, also my broken butt hurts.
