US Champs middle course, Brown Z. Another pretty good run, and fortunate enough to end up first on the course and first in M-70. Amazing. Very compact course, intricate area with lots of depressions. Only one significant mistake, when I misread the contours near 6 and nothing looked right to me. Bailed out to a pond and then tried again, but still didn't look right. But a little further and there it was, maybe lost 2:30 there. And maybe another 30 seconds drifting down the wrong spur on the way to 8, but otherwise excellent. Again I was the beneficiary of very difficult footing that slowed down the faster runners.
Late in the course I saw a large rabbit shaped hind end scooting under one of the many downed logs. I suppose a hare, but quite a meaty looking one, and quite furry.

Note
Rhonda and Leslie and I went to the little hot spring along the creek, 200 meters from the house. A little pool just off the side of the creek with a hot spring feeding it from the bank, and then draining into the creek on the down side. In the pool maybe 102 F, and then pleasant to wade a bit into the stream to cool off and do it over again.

Hike 45:00 [0] 2.5 mi (18:00 / mi)
slept:7.0
Nice morning perambulation with Rhonda from our cabin on Valley Creek in Stanley. Left and across the washed out section of road and the bridge over the creek to town, then left down the main drag to route 75. Left again along the Salmon River to the Stanley Museum and home again. Cold, very pretty out. We saw several of what appeared to be semi-palmated plovers scampering along the road.

This was the Brown Z "long" course. Somehow the decision was made that m65 and w65 would be on the regular brown course and all 70+ would be on the shorter one. Beautiful day at Trap Creek, fairly intricate terrain and lots of deadfall was to the advantage of someone like me who was mostly walking, as running was so impeded. Anyway, I ended up first in M70, although the redoubtable Sharon smoked me by over 5 minutes. Two minor bobbles in the circle, maybe 20 seconds each, and one real clunker on the next to last control that was worth about 2:15. But others had problems, too. I certainly had no expectations of a medal.

Brown sprint at Boise State. A couple of mistakes. Hard to read the map, but mostly very slow and sore. Even looking after, the course printing seems faint and hard to pick out the control numbers.
Unremarkable, except for the two mistakes. In both cases, 4 to 5 and 7 to 8, I got confused about where I had left from and so was surprised when I got someplace wrong. Leaving 4 I thought I was leaving from 3, so very surprised when I hit the big building in my path and went around it to the right before I figured out what happened. Leaving 7 I thought I was coming from 6, tried to make things fit until I was already past the tennis courts and confused. so maybe 3 minutes lost. Still not competitive even if I had a perfect run.

Not quite feeling sparky today. A little tired from yesterday, I guess.
12 PM
Kayak 40:00 [0]
with Rhonda at Stanclift, first outing of the season. Some wildlife on the lake: turtles on rocks, dragonflies, mother duck and ducklings, a pair of red-breasted mergansers on a log that didn't move as we swept by within 10-15 feet.
3 PM
Note
Picking up the rest of the controls, unremarkable but it started to rumble when we were leaving the first of them, and got pretty threatening by the time we got the last one, with about 10 minutes left to walk back, wondering the whole time if we would arrive before the rain, which came crashing down just as we reached the back porch. Very satisfying.
