Rocky Mountain 1000 Day
Crystal Relay Leg 4
Ran with about 4 or 5 other runners to the first control. They were a little off, so I went my own way to #2. This trimmed the pack to about 2. Caught up to Orlyn going to #3. Was following Jason Poole for several controls until he left me in his dust. Towards the end I tried to catch Michael Eglin after he passed me, but it was to no avail.

Rocky Mountain 1000 Day
Day 4
Another good race. Was 2nd to Peter Gagarin, the O-Sensei. Saw a moose as I was leaving #8. Almost skipped #10. Was too conservative going to #14 to preserve my good race also had a hard fall.

Red Day 4 - Splits

Rocky Mountain 1000 Day
Day 3
Since yesterday was pretty good, today, holding true to form, was lousy. Messed up #4 for a minute or two. Then traveled 90 degrees from the direction that I intended to go out of #4. Ran off the map. Relocated on a fence and followed it to the control circle. Still had problems finding the actually control. Lost about 9 minutes.

Rocky Mountain 1000 Day
Day 2
The first time I have ever won the course! I lost some time on control #7. Thought the reentrant was on the near side of the hill. Basically ran the whole course like the sprint yesterday.

Superbum Sprint
Attacked the course like an animal. Was a little slow on 8 in the swamp. Made a mistake on control #9 at the rocks west of the control.

Superbum Sprint - Splits

Rocky Mountain 1000 Day
Day 1
Made a mistake on control #3 like a lot of other people. I drifted to the right from a pretty good attackpoint. Lost about 4 minutes on #6. Saw a small cliff just before the big boulder, so thought I had made a mistake. Wandered around until some other orienteers came and hit the control.
