| Paddling race 52:00 [3]8 km (6:30 / km) | |

| First leg of the Tri-loppet with Molly as taskmaster. Had solid effort. Paddle near Stephen and Kari a good chunk of this leg. Molly steered an excellent course. |
| Trail Running race 24:16 [4]5 km (4:51 / km) vdot: 39.7 | |
| shoes: Vasque Spur |
| Passed a number of people in the TA, due to our strategery, and had a really good run. Maybe I could have pushed it a little more, but I was always a little afraid that the course would include a couple of the big hills that it could have gone up. Passed by only one person and passed quite a few people. |
| Mtn Biking race 28:38 [4]10 km (2:52 / km) | |

| Very happy with my bike leg. A very fun course. I wasn't passed by anybody on the bike, and I caught the guy who passed me on the run and passed him just before the finish. |
| Mtn Biking 20:00 [2]5 km (4:00 / km) | |

| Rode our bikes back to the car instead of waiting for the shuttle. Very nice ride. It was like back when we were dating and didn't have kids to rush home to. |

| Very excited about the recent confirmation of my ROGAINE partner. He/she has international experience and more than his/her fair share of experience dealing with challenging teammates. This person has been on teams with some douzies. I should be easy to get along with by comparison.
This secret will be guarded as closely as the AR location. |

| Orienteering (Map Hike) 55:00 [1]2 km (27:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Vasque Spur |
| Did not really want to overexert today in the heat. I went and checked out the area around the baseball fields at Battle Creek that have given me problems in the past.
Highlight of the day was nearly being attacked by a turkey. I was fully engrossed in the map. It must have been sleeping. I was within about 2 feet of it and it jumped up and came at me. I survived the encounter.
I did also see a deer and a very small fawn as well. |
