| Western Champs Day 1 - E. Twin Bldr map. 50, windy, sprinks. Good run except slowish route thru sage to 1 and bad overshoot on 2, misreading reentrants. Long sage route to 8 wasn't fun. Straight might have been better.
Still 1st M60 by a bit but quite far back from a nice run by Charlie Shab... at 46 and quite a few around 53-55. |

| spiked:8/10c shoes: VJ Falcon |
| Prolog @Idonwannabe - 80, sunny. Ok run but bobbles and not good map reading esp to 5 - too L at last stretch not checking off rocks, and 10 - way off to L and climbed thru all sorts of huge boulders. Got blisters on tops of both little toes - perhaps from using different socks as inner pair - smart wool shorties. Put Neosporin on and changed shoes for Chase. |

| Chase @ pelican Bay - 80, v sunny, hot tho with clouds for some. major ugly brain fart going to 10. Should have gone R along open but decided to go straight in shade thru rocks and sage. Hard going and then lost position just short. Tried to relocate off aspen and kept going in wanders. Eventually saw Stepping Stone and walked to where was sure of position. Ok rest of way. Had also bobbled 3 and 4. |

| Hiking 2:00:00 [1] | |
| shoes: DS Trainer X |
| Hike with Lucy & Jeremy from their house up trail toward Homestake Mine. Got as far as nice open view of mts and dark clouds and decided to head back. Clouds passed but was enough gasping at altitude for first day at 11,000'. |
Sunday Aug 6 |
| Trail run 1:04:00 [1]6.0 mi (10:40 / mi) | |
| weight:150lbs shoes: NB1060 |
| Purple loop - 75, dry, clear, great day for a run. Started off slow and disjointed, but got into a good stride and felt good. Threw in a few speed strides to get the feel again. Nice run to get ready for altitude training at 10K'. |
