| All gear and skills checks today! We weren't forced to wait and just slid in and did the twelve stations as a score-O. So now we have a free day tomorrow with no need for a last minute rush.
I had an unfortunate accident during the kayak check, though. My glasses are now at the bottom of Lake Levinsky. Luckily, Chris brought her old pair and our prescription is very similar, so that's what I'll be wearing. |

| Everyone else went riverboarding again today. I skipped out and let Chris use my gear so she got a chance to try, and took photos and video instead. Time counted running back and forth along the road - slow pace, but a run nonetheless to keep up with the current. |

| Hike up Lone Mountain as far as we could go safely. Went up several snowfields and ended up at the top of a talus field on the summit ridge around 9800 feet. The rest of the ridge was steep and snowy with several dangerous cornices, so that was the end of it. On the way down, the open ski runs offered a lot of chances to plunge and glissade, so we made it down very quickly. |

| Riverboarding the Mad Mile of the Gallatin River. We weren't quite ready for it - water is high, cold and we had to go pick the roughest part with solid class III. After my second board flip followed by five big waves I barely manged to eddy out and had to take 10 minutes in the sun to catch my breath. We all portaged around the worst section near House Rock and Rozzi and I walked ahead to scout for Dave and Mark.
Luckily, we now know where and what the toughest river section is like, so we can make appropriate decisions during the race. |
