Orienteering race 1:09:13 [5] *** 8.5 km (8:09 / km) +210m 7:15 / km
spiked:17/18c shoes: VJ Falcons 2
Red course on Day 1 of Colorado 5 Day. Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch map (northern part). A very good run with only about a 1 minute error on one control. 3rd M45 (of ~18), 7th overall on Red. Typical Colorado stuff - lots of wide open running, most controls in rocky areas, and less oxygen than I'm used to. Sunny and 70's.

Walking (Hiking) 2:30:00 [2] ** 5.55 mi (27:02 / mi) +400m 22:05 / mi
shoes: NB 809
An acclimatization hike near Colorado Springs. Did a loop from the Palmer Trail/Section 16 trailhead. Starting elevation about 6600', max elevation about 7900'. Hiked at Janet's pace (slow for me on the uphills, 2.5 - 3 mph going downhill). Great hike with several views of Colorado Springs and out into the plains. Thunderstorms came up about an hour after we were finished - saw lightening strike the ridge we had been on! I guess there's good reason to hike early in the day.

Kennedy Park in Lenox, MA. Hot day but not too humid. Probably about 80F in the woods. Didn't push too hard. Plenty of hills.

Trail Run 55:30 [3] 5.13 mi (10:49 / mi)
shoes: NB 809
Trail run in Albany Pine Bush (Blueberry Hill and environs). Hot and humid. Had planned to for an hour but felt like I was struggling to keep going, so didn't make an effort to stretch the run. Some of the trails were a bit overgrown, with scratchy things projecting out into the trails. Shorts plus scratchy things plus sweat is not comfortable. :-(
