A false start with the wrong map, then off to an almost good run. Had some magnifying glasses, today, but those steamed up and didn't work for me. Ok until #5 and then could not fathom the contour lines along the ridge on the way to #6. Made a bad assumption and thought the control was on the W slope. Took a while to determine it was on the E slope.

Checked to old map afterwards, and this area around Turkey Hill is quite clearly readable. The ocad/color copy washed out all the detail. It's been said before, but color copies ought to be at 1:10,000.

Crappy day. Could not read detail on map, especially fudgey contour lines. Misdirected on #3 and major confusion on #8. Made my own mistake on #10, but by then I was pretty frustrated.

Easy morning run, slightly more animated today.

Easy morning run.

Signed up for the 2005 Vasaloppet last night. It's not until next March, but this year it sold out really early -- 15,000 people skiing 90km!

Cummings Rd for warmup, then trail/woods to top of Boulder Hill. Same as Monday, but finding a faster route to summit.

Up 12.20

Warm up run.

Then up to top of Boulder Hill. Up 15.36, down 12.44 with detour to check out tent set up on corner of property.
