Running (Warm-up) 5:00 [2] 0.7 km (7:09 / km)
slept:8.0
Warm-up for the Rocky Mountain 1000-Day: Day 3. On the Pelican Bay map off Happy Jack Rd. east of Laramie, WY.
Orienteering (Competition) 1:26:43 [4] 9.46 km (9:10 / km) +210m 8:15 / km
spiked:9/14c
Rocky Mountain 1000-Day: Day 3. On the Pelican Bay map off Happy Jack Rd. east of Laramie, WY. I had significant trouble on #3 and #4 along with bobbles on numbers: 2, 5, 8 and 12. I felt okay with the distance and speed but if I were more confident about my navigation, I think I could have run faster. The course, terrain and map were nice.

Running (Warm-up) 4:30 [2] 0.6 km (7:30 / km)
slept:7.0
Warm-up for the Rocky Mountain 1000-Day: Day 2. On the First with the Most map off Happy Jack Rd. east of Laramie, WY.
Orienteering (Competition) 46:42 [4] 4.85 km (9:38 / km) +170m 8:12 / km
spiked:7/13c slept:7.25
Rocky Mountain 1000-Day: Day 2. On the First with the Most map off Happy Jack Rd. east of Laramie, WY. The map was 1:10,000 today instead of 1:15,000 used for all the earlier runs except The Prologue. I lost concentration going to #4. I thought I was leaving #4 headed to #5 when in fact I was only leaving #3. Some parallel features lead to an over 4 minute error. Other trouble at #7 and #11 made for a bad day on a short course. See the Split List.
Orienteering (Control Pickup) 1:31:48 [2] 5.25 km (17:29 / km)
spiked:13/13c
On the First with the Most map off Happy Jack Rd. east of Laramie, WY. I had eaten after racing and felt it trying to run. Though I picked-up mostly Green and Yellow course controls, they were farthest away on the map. On the way I checked some control locations from the Blue and Red course. I figured the practice with the rock detail would help.

Running (Warm-up) 7:00 [2] 1.0 km (7:00 / km)
slept:7.0
On the Twin Boulders Map off Happy Jack Rd. east of Laramie, WY. Warm-up from the parking area to the start with Alexi.
Orienteering (Competition) 20:09 [4] 2.72 km (7:24 / km) +40m 6:54 / km
spiked:8/11c slept:7.0
Rocky Mountain 1000-Day: Superbum Sprint. With fewer rock detail than The Prologue, I did okay. With Peter Gagarin starting a minute behind me, I pulled-up short on the first control and he caught me. I got to the next 2 controls just ahead of him then pulled away when he made a rare mistake. See the Split List. Later after my run several of us went back out on the course to find Mike Minium's teeth. He took a bad face plant fall knocking out 5 which we found. Mike made it to the finish on his own and is now doing okay.

Orienteering (Competition) 1:08:40 [4] 7.26 km (9:27 / km) +255m 8:03 / km
spiked:10/14c slept:7.5
Rocky Mountain 1000-Day: Day 1. On the Middle Crow's Toe map east of Laramie, WY. I made a 5 minute error on leg 2-3, the most technical of the course. The rest was okay with only minor errors. It gave me the lead in my age group (M40) but a few M20's, a few M45's and Peter Gagarin were well ahead. The terrain was fun. The first half was technical, rocky and hilly with aspens and open areas. The second half was in the same area as The Stampede with rolling fields, rocky knolls and pine forest. See the Split List.
Orienteering (Control Pickup) 51:59 [2] 3.5 km (14:51 / km)
spiked:11/11c
On the Midle Crow's Toe map east of Laramie, WY. After the 1000-Day 1 meet was over I thought time in the rocks might help me with the technical areas ahead. Unfortunately, I got assigned mostly yellow controls and streamer pickup. It was still somewhat helpful as I read the breaks in the marshes and some subtle reentrants.

Orienteering (Competition) 25:41 [4] 2.7 km (9:31 / km) +120m 7:47 / km
spiked:8/12c slept:8.0
Rocky Mountain 1000-Day: Prologue. This was on the Gates of AMT Hell map off Happy Jack Rd. east of Laramie, WY. There were 30 second intervals between starts which lead to trains of runners. I made sizeable errors on 9 and 10 which in a race like this put me well back. See the Split List.
Orienteering (Competition) 49:50 [4] 6.96 km (7:10 / km) +240m 6:06 / km
spiked:19/20c slept:8.0
Rocky Mountain 1000-Day: The Chase. This was on the Pitcher Hill map off Happy Jack Rd. east of Laramie, WY. The chase start put me about 20 seconds behind Rich Kelly and 15 behind Peter Gagarin. I caught both and many others but lost my head when I saw Eddie Bergeron ahead in the wrong reentrant going to #8. Peter and Rich got ahead but I only caught Rich. Peter's overall time on The Chase was a second faster.

Orienteering (Competition) 49:45 [4] 6.02 km (8:16 / km) +220m 6:59 / km
spiked:6/10c
Rocky Mountain 1000-Day: Stampede. On the Plutonic Pleasures map east of Laramie, WY. The mass start on a hilltop surrounded by rolling fields and rocky knobs was cool. As often is the case, I chased Ted around much of the course. Like half the others, I ran into the wrong reentrant on #3. See the Split List. I'm not sure what place I finished at. Jonas Fast was just ahead. I out-kicked Steve Gregg up the steep finish. Ted had hurt his ankle near 2 controls from the end and finished just a little behind.

Hiking (Dayhike) 21:00 [2] 0.5 mi (41:59 / mi) +60m 30:35 / mi
slept:9.0
From the Alpine Visitor Center in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO north on the trail to the knoll at 12,005 ft. and back. It was very windy and somewhat cold coming back.
Hiking (Day Hike) 28:00 [2] 0.8 mi (35:01 / mi) +33m 31:02 / mi
From the Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park to the "teeth" some mushroom shaped rocky knolls, then back.
Running (Trail) 59:56 [2] 5.5 mi (10:54 / mi)
From the Bear Lake Rd. in Rocky Mountain National Park I ran with Peggy around the Morain Park. We started on a trail at the foot of the South Lateral Moraine the turned right on the Cub Lake Trail to get to the Morain Campground. We ran through the campground then took a trail through the Moraine Park to the parking area near the river. The trails we used were flat for the park but rolling. The parking area was at just over 8,030 ft in elevation.
