Dog Walking 20:00 [1]
Orienteering race 1:31:31 [3]
Manitou Green course. I really had intended to run this course, but on the way to #1, I was feeling shaky and weak and tired. Not sure what that was about, but I ratcheted it down and took it easy instead. I still managed to mangle #3 - I was too low, overshot it to the trail, and then double-backed in to it. I missed #11 even worse...a total parallel error. I thought I was on one trail, but really I was on another one further north. Of course I could make everything match up until I got to the spot where the control should be, and it wasn't there. Time to relocate, which didn't take too long, but I was pretty far from the control. Drat.
AOWN - I was heading to #5 when I got a faint whiff of something dead. As I kept going, it got stronger and stronger, until finally I was totally enveloped by the smell and afraid I was going to step in whatever it was. At the last second, I saw what it was before I got on top of it...a very dead, very mangled elk that looked like it had been eaten by a mountain lion. The carcass was half meat, half bones, with the ribs sticking out and the head twisted grotesquely back. And flies everywhere. I stumbled away, unable to get away from the scent and almost vomited. So pleasant.

Cycling 56:02 [3] 12.8 mi (13.7 mph)
A short, slow ride to try to loosen up a very stiff knee. It's still oppressively hot here, but hopefully, that's going to break soon.

Hike in Golden Gate Canyon SP with PG and Gail. Nice, relaxed hike, followed by lunch in Golden. It was very hot.

Orienteering race 1:16:00 [4]
Laramie Daze 6 - Diamond Bay. Rocky Mt. Goat
I only did part of this as I had to head back to Denver early. So I did 1-8 and 18-20. That was plenty, and it gave me the excitement early on of trying to catch up to folks and trying to leave folks behind.
I had such a great time this weekend. Mikell put on another stellar event with great courses and wonderful maps. The camping was fun, and the company was even better. S glad I went.

Orienteering race 59:00 [3] 3.9 km (15:08 / km)
Laramie Daze - 5. Devil's Claw.
So, this was not such a great day for me. I could tell before I had even started that my knees were going to be sore and, indeed, they were. Too many downhills and contouring. But I finished Green by walking and still had fun. Then hung around and socialized for awhile. I think it would be tres cool to be a cop!
