O' pass, 17.4 kms, 38 controls, Remarkable Flats.
The venue may have been remarkable, but my legs weren't--not directly bad, but flattish feeling. Ironic considering the length of the course today, but so it can go. Did the best I could with what I had, just like I would have had to do had it been a race.
A thunderstorm grazed by just as I was starting on some mapping work. It never rained hard where I was, but if you're not careful it only takes a few well placed rain drops to make a real mess of a map board. Rain 6 of 7 days this month so far, and storms both yesterday and Friday were some nice hail makers; several chunks of hail where I was yesterday were edging up to half dollar size--more than enough to catch your attention if you're out running. Yesterday's storm additionally furnished a tornado that crossed US 287 in the vicinity of Bosler. A direct hit and that place could start all over again.

Ran at Happy Jack to take on the mosquitoes. A few got me; a few I got. I swung by the snowfield to check on it, and whether or not it made it to today (past midnight) I don't know. But it most surely did not make it to the late afternoon when I was there. Or perhaps it has only nestled underground, planning to re-emerge in late October or so, when cooler temps might lure it above ground again.

Full set of RE intervals. Knee felt okay during, and back home afterwards. Hopefully that feeling will maintain overnight and into the morning.
Got buzzed a few times while mapping, and registered 3 FDF kills. The first one I snatched out of the air, and I'm not sure which of us was more surprised.
Rain today (sandwiching a very fine bit of hail) and yesterday; July is off to a good start and not slacking where June left off.

Ran out to check on the snowfield at the east overlook off of Headquarters Trail, to see if it made it to July--and it did. Pretty sure this is the latest I've seen it last. It will make it until tomorrow for sure, but not much longer, and maybe not even to the 3rd.
