Blue, day 2 in Anza-Borrego. 7.8 km/63 mins. Much more physical than yesterday, in an area of steep washes/canyons with often complex route choices. Good run, but one error (3 mins+) when got in the wrong canyon. Quite tired from 2 long runs the previous day.

Maze-O. Score-O (controls in any order, no time limit) in very complex area of canyons/slots etc. Took a few rather scary routes, and really struggled to read the map (1:5000). Ran twice as far as needed to!

SDO B-meet (Anza-Borrego). Blue, day 1, 8.0 km/56 mins. Very nice, fast terrain - ocotillo 'forest', subtle washes and steep canyons. 10 mins lost. One big error after losing concentration due to a painful experience with a cholla.

Night-O in Anza-Borrego. Blue, 7.1 km/59 mins. About a quarter moon and petzl light. This was really a lot of fun and very challenging! Subtle terrain very difficult at night, running bearings on stars. A pretty good run, though cautious at times and several overshoots.

Jog back to car from Cape Falcon, through beautiful old growth forest.
