| Red course on Day 1 of Colorado 5 Day. Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch map (northern part). A very good run with only about a 1 minute error on one control. 3rd M45 (of ~18), 7th overall on Red. Typical Colorado stuff - lots of wide open running, most controls in rocky areas, and less oxygen than I'm used to. Sunny and 70's.

| An acclimatization hike near Colorado Springs. Did a loop from the Palmer Trail/Section 16 trailhead. Starting elevation about 6600', max elevation about 7900'. Hiked at Janet's pace (slow for me on the uphills, 2.5 - 3 mph going downhill). Great hike with several views of Colorado Springs and out into the plains. Thunderstorms came up about an hour after we were finished - saw lightening strike the ridge we had been on! I guess there's good reason to hike early in the day. |

| Trail run in Albany Pine Bush (Blueberry Hill and environs). Hot and humid. Had planned to for an hour but felt like I was struggling to keep going, so didn't make an effort to stretch the run. Some of the trails were a bit overgrown, with scratchy things projecting out into the trails. Shorts plus scratchy things plus sweat is not comfortable. :-( |
