Saw that during yesterday's storm, hail of up to tennis ball size was reported at Buford on I-80. That's large. That's large enough to dent a car roof. That's large enough to do worse than that. That's even large enough to take pictures of and post online, for the Facebookies.

Ran a first version of the Blue course for the East Pelican day of the Rocky Mountain O' Fest. As currently set, it's a pretty rainy course and competitors may wish to have along polypro (supertroja) and umbrellas. But maybe some aspects of the course will change (this was just Neil's first stab at the course, on paper, and before any visits in the field.)

The course was in two loops, and while I ran well physically, my map reading was pretty sloppy in several places on the first loop. It may have been I was thinking about how the legs looked from a course setting perspective and how the control locations looked, rather than simply concentrating on running the course. Of course there were no streamers yet.

Looks like we're now 2 for 2 up in the National Forest. That is, 2 years, and a shooting each year. Some kind of a shooting incident between a sheriff's deputy and some unnamed individual took place off the road bordering East Pelican Bay on Saturday. The individual was reportedly badly wounded.
