Remarkable Flats - long race with very open terrain. Stayed with a group all the way around and had quite high average speed.

Rocky Mountain Goat - Splits

Telephone Song - mass start and much faster than yesterday

new map at Yellow Pine, 1:10000 scale. Course listed as 5.3 km. The first half was open and very fast while the second half was more wooded and/or sagebrush. I overshot #6 by about 50 to 60 meters and then corrected, otherwise very clean.

Mass start at Idonwannabe, clear and no wind. All good except for relocation at #5 when I went left and should have gone right.

Training race at Middle Crow's Toe -- map is 1:15000 with a course of 5.4 km. I had a very clean run with one exception. The control at #3, I believe, was hung higher in the reentrant than indicated by the control circle. I went too low and continued til I was well beyond the marked position, then climbed back up to the flag. My gps track confirms my suspicions that the flag was too high. Only about 3 min. extra

legs 9 to 10 and 10 to 11, I chose to contour to both of these even though that may have been somewhat slower.
