Orienteering race 1:08:00 [4]
Laramie Daze 4 - One Cowboy Relay at Forrest Meadows.
So much fun! Five loops - 4 shorter ones and then a longer one. After a navigational error on my first loop - the excitement got to me...I did fine. I was still moving to my satisfaction, but ended up in 21st place. One place out of the crystals. :-( But Charlie S. was kind enough to find a crystal rock to give me, in consolation.
Plus, I had an AOWN kind of day. I saw a bull moose loping through the forest on my second loop, then an elk on my third loop, and finally, a flock of turkeys while a bunch of us were sitting around afterwards.
And I got schooled in Ghettocad by the man himself. Quite a satisfactory day!

Orienteering race 54:46 [4] 5.1 km (10:44 / km)
Daze 3 - Remarkable Flats
Ran the Green course. No navigational troubles and moved fairly well. It was very hot, and Mikell cruelly had us climb a longish, sage-covered hill to the penultimate control. Very much fun, though. And I won a Daze prize!

Turkey pesto panini and O'Dell's St. Lupulin Extra Pale Ale at Coal Creek Coffee in downtown Laramie. Waiting for the bluegrass concert to begin in the plaza. Life is good. :-)

FYJ! I was stung again! It's been at least 10 years since I was last stung by a bee-like insect, and now it's happened twice in the last few weeks. What is going on?!?

A very fun bike-around-Denver day. First, I biked to the Denver Science Museum because I had a Living Social coupon that was about to expire. It gained me entrance to the museum plus an IMAX film plus a planetarium film...all for $13! I decided on the 3D Flight of the Butterflies movie, and it was really interesting. I didn't know that the wintering location of the monarch butterflies wasn't discovered until 1975...at least by scientists who made it known. It was cute to see all of the little kids in the audience reaching out to "touch" the butterflies.
I looked around a little between shows and landed on an exhibit of the wildlife and plants of Colorado. I was surprised by how many of the plants I've already come to recognize. Then I went to the planetarium and saw Passport to the Universe . I find it a little disconcerting to think about the vastness of space and how minuscule Earth is in comparison. And then, how minuscule and totally inconsequential my life is in the scheme of things. I mean, when looked at in the scope of time and space...wow! We really are nothing...and then my head explodes.
To lighten things up, I headed over to watch some of the last day of the US Pro Challenge bike race that was winding its way around Denver. Last year, the Denver leg was a time trial...not quite so exciting. But this year, it was a circuit race with an actual breakaway and a fast peloton.
I stayed for a few laps and then headed home. It's so great to live in a city where *everyone* is out on foot, bikes, skateboards, adult-sized Big Wheels...you name it and Denver has it. So fine!
