| |
| day 2, considerably better. About 1 & 3/4ths min mistakes, on #4 & 5 from not looking carefully/long enough at map but at least figuring out what was wrong in 20"-30" at most. Could have, at best, been 40' plus, Sam Saeger at 32+, a few 38-9 (incl meet director) & a couple under 42' as well. Lovely land, coldish moonlit nights/frozen water first night), coyotes yapping, hot days, welcome sunrises, brilliant sunsets, one windy night, windy middays, 2 unstaked tents that blew afar, 3 nights camping/creative 'showers', very starry nights before moon, a potluck dinner, a dark & lonely road that warned of illegals & drug smuggling (Thurs night when the place was apparently empty). Visited Tombstone/Boothill. Finished up with Colossal Cave & Sagauro Nat'l Monument & night at Red Roof short dist from Phoenix airport. With Deb Humiston & daughter Hannah. Easy SW nonstop flt back to 46 deg at 1730 & car that started. |

| day 1 Western States champs, good run except for second control, lost about 7 1/2 min comparing to Ron Bortz (2:27 to my 10:20), ran about in circles & then back to sight first control as in compleat amateur. Energy OK but looking at M45 red or, say, Samantha Saeger on my same course shows that old age is upon me. |

Johnsbury motel w/ Beth, Z&M.Another hr to Craftsbury Common this AM. Had rained there last night. 2 hr delay to start time. Energy pretty good, new waxless skis, still sliding, tiring last 3 or so km. Cold fingers for a period, fell only once. More ups & fast downs than I recalled from 2005. Ski pole problems - baskets reversed, points sticking in hard surface & strap frustration. Good to put out some effort for an extended period. Was ahead of Udo for alot of distance. Met Eiwind Rynning, Peaks I, Portland, ME sailing/climbing, can't-sit-still elderly Norwegian. All in all, nice job by sponsors. Beth skied at Craftsbury outdoor center.
