Jakkarin and I drove up to LAOC's Mt Pinos Classic. I did the Day 2 Red course. Hot, dry, steep. What did I expect? Recalled the trick to surviving California: as much climb as possible during training, as little climb as possible during orienteering. Spent 41 minutes looking for control 1 (due to lack of orienteering practice over the past year) and also way too much time looking for 6 (due to over-confidence at that point). For gory details, see the GPS track.
After the race, saw Mikkel Conradi, his wife Lauren and their son, little 16-month-old Julian.

heart rate a bit too high for how fast I am running, probably due to about an hour less sleep every night combined with nightly consumption of alcohol at the conference last week.

Note
my fellow physicists are disappointed in the inaccuracy of their own judgment earlier this year. they thought that I was a bad Russian person. now that it turns out that I am, instead, simply a good American person, the part of them that is self-hating finds it difficult to believe the latter fact, while the part of them that is self-loving finds me far less interesting than they used to. incidentally, another fact that seems to make frustratingly little sense to my fellow physicists (and to people in general) is that, despite the fact that I am good, American, heterosexual and male, I am also extremely monogamous in romantic interactions.
