Flying Pig Day 1 Green. Addie couldn't make it due to other commitments, so Florence and I drove in today, starting just before 7 and checking in to the hotel at 2:30. A short drive to Pyramid Hill, which we had visited the last time we were here.

I knew the running would take care of itself and all I had to do was navigate carefully. So I came out of #1 onto the road and took off at speed, without regard to which road or which direction. A while later, after two head-scratching stops, I finally figured out where I was and made my way to #2. About 5 min lost.

After that everything went great, and I had a lot of fun.

Taking to Florence afterwards, I realized that I was totally wrong about the special symbols. I thought the Os were sculptures, but they were actually lamp posts. The X's were the sculptures. Ow.

Morning run in the warm period before the cold front. I did about 10x 30s on, 1min off. Keeping the same cadence, and the offs were at normal easy pace. It felt great.

Corridor training at Great Falls. Corridor was 5k, 70m width. This is the third time I tried one of these, and by far the best performance. I was able to run for the most part, stopping to read the map. No issues with map contact. I made one mistake, going off at 90 degrees, but figured it out pretty quickly.

Neighborhood run in the morning.

Climbing with Florence and Rob. I climbed well within my ability, having had no particular desire to push for numbers today. A half dozen or more routes in the 10a-d range, finishing up with 3 laps on an overhanging 5.8, no falls all day.
