| Telemark - Had late start for run so finished just before Sprint started. After few Gatorades, gave sprint a try while feet were still wet and hadn't gone completely cold. Fun run, slowish but a good exercise to try to keep in contact on run in tight area. |

| EMPO Grafton Lakes Red- 50, grey, blustery. Ok running but cold standing around. Was going to have an easy practice run, working on flow. Started well but got into a vague section of map (old photocopy of a 1992 map) where dark green has grown out but color hides all map info. Plus 15000 map and with few features was hard to really locate. So slowed a lot and struggled on later controls. And tired. Rest week coming up.
Time includes 7' wandering around looking for bag that had been collected, was a 90m leg with very distinct features so finally gave up and left only to run into Grant at the next control with bag in hand. |

| Coups Sawmill (section w of Gay City) - 60, sunny tho got cooler. Run around with Dunleavy base map of area w Gari, Clint. Map excellent, with addition of a few rocks, cliffs would be good to go tho would need trails for beginners probably;} Nice run tho felt very tired and had trouble keeping up. May be overtrang, seems like a long year. Will be glad when CH are over. Then just focus on Manchester! |
