MNOC--Lake Elmo; Members Only

Very fun score-o at Elmo. Checked out the course, made my strategy decision and started running. Just happened to be heading in the exact same direction as Graham, Owen, and Pete. They all were headed to 16. I skipped that and went to 10. Wasn't quite into the map yet and made my only mistake of the day. Just a little time. I ran with Pete and Owen for a while, then just Pete. Then he chose to go for 7 and I skipped that and headed for 8. I finished with 16 and was looking for one more control, but didn't have enough time to get to 25, which I thought was the closest. Afterwards I realized I could have easily picked up 23 at 2 different times and missed it altogether. Would have put me in a tie with Pte and Graham and time would have decided it.

Order: 10,2,3,4,9,11,12,18,17,6,15,14,24,22,8,21,1,16

Oh well. This was tremendously more positive than last year's score-o.

Distance is based on a very quick measurement of my route.

C • more positive than last year 9

C • more positive than last year 1

Long sprint at Lake Elmo. Very happy with this run. There may have been a couple faster route choices, but clean run.

Out Of Gas. Didn't think I was going to get this in. I was supposed to take Jasper swimming, but then it started thundering, so I squezzed it in. Very tired, and I think it was control 6 I started drifting to the hill control from the long sprint. Didn't make it all the way there before realizing the mistake, so probably only a few seconds, but it easily could have been a mispunch.

C • nearly distracted you for the last control! 4

long sprint - Splits

short sprint - Splits

Sent my leadership students out for a team challenge. I got into it more than they did. Still, sort of fun trying to stay focused on a street map when looking for students. Had to stop a few times to encourage them.

Had planned to get over and run a couple of the sprints from last year at Como after school and before an evening event back at school, but it didn't happen.

Jasper to school on the tagalong. Then swaapped bikes and went to school.

Molly and I rode down to a friend's house in Burnsville, then I went out for another loop with a few other guys. Great to be on th ebike for a longer ride.
