Hiking 2:00:00 [1]
More glacier school. Learning crevasse rescue, then hiking around some crevasse fields, and being thrown into a crevasse and prussking out. Finally, hiking back down to the parking lot. Glacier school was awesome. I feel way more confident in my ability to safely get up and down a non-technical glaciated mountain.

Glacier school on Mt.Baker. Lots of self arrest training, learning to build anchors, and so on. Very cool.

Running 1:00:19 [2] 6.88 mi (8:46 / mi) +150m 8:12 / mi
shoes: Asics 2011
Nice evening run with Becky (and Kat in the beginning) around East Rock. The hour seemed to go by quickly, a sign of good company and cooler weather. Then was hissed on by the devil beasts before dinner.

Orienteering 1:30:00 [1]
Running around Lynn Woods with Sam and streamering control locations. Had to move a couple, but most of the others seem good. Definitely still some work left to do on the courses, especially white, orange, and brown.
Orienteering 1:15:00 [2]
After lunch, shadowed Alex around a course on Breakheart reservation. Sam was tasked with distracting Alex, which turned out be a hard task, as Alex did a good job of focusing on her map. I made her run a few controls without a compass, and then had her and Sam race head to head for a few controls. I think this was good training for all of us. You can just get so much more quality out of training with other people.

Running 38:58 [2] 4.58 mi (8:30 / mi)
shoes: Asics 2011
Followed Becky's suggestion and ran back after dropping the car off at the mechanic's. Added on a short loop around East Rock. Felt pretty terrible - heat and lack of sleep, and overall soreness from my attempts to fly isn't helping, either.

Running 44:58 [2] 5.62 mi (8:00 / mi)
shoes: Asics 2011
Running around East Rock in the evening after helping Rob and Becky move Sam and Ross' stuff into their apartment. Had the opportunity to reacquaint myself with the Devil Kitties. A brief encounter resulted in hissing and growling from all involved parties. Electrified collars were suggested in order to instill better discipline. Delicious wings were then consumed.

Running 1:49:18 [2] 12.56 mi (8:42 / mi) +593m 7:35 / mi
shoes: Asics 2011
Another run from Greg's house in San Rafael. Tried to find a shortcut to get into China Camp SP, but kept hitting dead ends and private property. Finally found a way in and then climbed and climbed to the top. Took a loop around on fire roads, then back along the same trail I'd run the previous two days and back to Greg's house on the streets in the hot sun.
Also: very cool to see Andrew and Giacomo make the B final at JWOC!

Met up with Mikkel Conradi in Golden Gate Park in my role as course controller for the WRE sprint in November. We ran around the blue and red courses and checked out control locations and bum nests. Good times.

China Camp SP by myself in the morning. Turned an ankle hard on one of the steeper downhills, took it easy on the way back to my brother's house, taking the roads.
