Orienteering race 1:36:47 [4] *** 13.2 km (7:20 / km) +310m 6:34 / km
spiked:20/21c shoes: Salomon XA Pro 3D (2007, gray)
Another good run today. A little longer, and it was a different setter so the course felt a little different.
When I left it looked like 2-day combined place 6 of 17.

MTB (technical) 55:00 [3] **

Rented a bike at the camp and went for a trail ride while they were setting out the Bike-O controls. Then I started the Bike-O, and got exactly two controls before a thunderstorm moved in. As I was trying to get out of the open ground (and there's a lot of open ground in Colorado), lightning struck less than half a mile to my east (2 seconds between flash and thunder.) I could have finished the Bike-O in the rain and mud, but didn't want to mess with lightning, so I pounded it back and gave up on the course. It turns out the storm only got worse - I could see it as a nasty black horizon as I drove towards Denver.
