Team Durand-Durand training hike up Mt. San Gorgonio from Southfork trail. My watch died before we finished so the track isn't complete, but it was a straight out-and-back.

Did a final test day to match for the relay. Since the relay will be low-key, non-championship, and flat I just went to Marie Kerr Park with Winkie and made up about a 3K course. It was a hot day, so we didn't go very fast. Winkie had to stop a few times. I think I forgot my watch. I don't seem to have a track.

Long Test Course at Joshua Ranch. I've been wanting to map this for a while, so excited to finally download some LiDAR and make a basemap to run on. It was very hot, but I made it through. One stupid route choice from 7 to 8 where I contoured instead of taking the trail along the ridge. It was good steep contouring practice, but definitely harder and slower.

This is a download from my Strava phone track because I missed part of the course on my watch. I stopped it instead of taking a split at number 2. Another good reason to be doing these test runs after so long without real orienteering. Have to remember where the split button is!

Middle Test Course at Vasquez Rocks. I did the currently available DIY Brown Course with a few additional control locations to make it more technical and "middley." Another fun day of running with a map!
