Epic sports-watching weekend combining YUGE events in all three of my favorite sports - NBA Finals Game 7, Euros, Copa America, and Jukola.

Being on the road for much of June I've been sadly behind on international soccer, but yesterday was able to binge-watch several games, including:

Second half of ISL 1-1 HUN - Hard not to root for Iceland, the smallest country (by population) to ever make a major tournament. Nearly had their first win but put in a heartbreaking own goal in the 88th.

POR 0-0 AUT - one of the most dramatic scoreless draws you'll see, with the always entertaining Ronaldo being denied time and time again, including clanking a penalty off the post.

ARG 4-1 VEN - a wide open game far more entertaining than the score indicates, with lots of chances on both sides and Messi doing lots of fun Messi things.

CHI 7-0 MEX - a hilarious result which all American soccer fans enjoy immensely.

Morning commute, long (Middle) version! Not one with the traffic lights today.

Forgot to mention there was someone with a CSU jersey at the event Wednesday. I had the same visceral reaction to that as to the first inevitable "[He Who Must Not Be Named] 2016" bumper sticker I saw befouling our own great state of Washington.

Evening commute. Am way behind on my cycling and running hours this month. Need to catch up.

Event: COC Wednesday Evening #2 - Lake Wilderness Park
 

Wednesday Evening Series 2 @ Lake Wilderness Park. Ye gods, a mispunch! I can't remember the last time I MP'd; I think it's been years. Say whatever else you want about my orienteering but I'm assiduous about checking codes, not skipping controls, etc. However, today I was not as careful as usual, since in the rush of prepping for the event I forgot my O-bag and thus didn't have my description holder and wasn't able to check every code. With a valid result, would have gotten Eric by about half a minute.

Also, lost 30s on a poor route choice at 24, and 30s at 26 after I moseyed right past the flag. I was distracted at the time by a woman who was running almost as fast as me and wearing the same Ragnar shirt; she said "hey nice shirt" and I said "hey you too" and I temporarily forget about navigating and such.

Right knee somewhat aggravated after the last day of Boston Sprint Camp, but it's already feeling better after a day of rest. Seems weird because it was fine all through Team Trials and the first three days of BSC. Current hypothesis - caused by running on pavement in spikes, which occurred only on Sunday.
