| Pool felt good and I was moving. I would have broken 33 if I hadn't had to stop early on to check the clock to confirm my lap count.

| More field checking. Discovered that old power line ride is now a two-lane highway. More map corrections coming. Alas, mapping this out cost me time and now I have one site (round trip 0.4-0.5 miles) to visit tomorrow. With the price of gas, this stinks...

| Site checking for US Rogaine champs. Had to relocate two sites, one due to an amazing set of flat boulders with vertical sides 8-10 feet high that formed a maze right where we had planned to put the flag. Oops!

| West Point Classic (Red). Late start meant I didn't have the fog problems that other folks did. Clean to #1, but I overran #2 by 150 m and was way down hill. Had to recover to top of hill before finding flag. Had to remind myself that an eight minute error was not a good thing, but that I could still do respectably if I focused. Did fine to #8 (went way left to #7), but took a dubious route to #9 and bobbled it. Was slow through the blueberries to #10, was slow down the cliffs to #11, visited the wrong knoll for #12, but corrected well, and was slow down the cliffs to #13, the only leg I disliked all weekend. Finished strong with an okay time that appears to have held up as a good one.

| West Point Middle Distance event. Started slow as I needed to adjust to West Point maps. Sped up until #5 when I bobbled and was one spur off. Fortunately, I saw the control and adjusted. Good then until #10 when pack was all going left and pulled me left, too; control was to the right. DISASTER at 11 when I went 8 contours too low and hung out there for much too long. After that I more or less meandered in.

| West Point Sprint. With Ted Good starting two minutes behind me and Mike Lyons four, I knew that I would get passed by people who would probably know where they were going. The real question was how long I could hold them off. I bobbled #3 a little and Ted started to come up behind me. He visited #8 on the way to #5 so I punched in just ahead of him. He moved more quickly across the rocks at the base of the cliffs to #6 and was ahead of me to #9 when I finally lost sight. I was clean through #12, but heard Zach Lyons scream "go, dad!" as I passed through the spectator area. Mike passed me on the way to #14 and made that attack easy. Lost sight of him heading to #16. Bobbled the last control as I thought that I had skipped one; stood there while I recapped the last three controls on the map and verified that everything was cool. All in all, one of my better sprints.
