Note
We had an inspiring deluge in the afternoon, enough to even create some modest flooding in some of the local drainages around town. I'm losing track, but I think now we've had good rains on 5 out of the last 6 days. Fire bans are still in effect nevertheless. It's been super great for gardens however, and that's for sure.
Got some good stuff done today, including laying out and getting the One Cowboy Relay maps ready for printing. Most people will not know (or have any reason to care, either) how the One Cowboy Relay came into being, but one of the precipitating factors was having thousands of small maps left over from previous events, and no real idea of what to do with them that would also be useful. How about a race with a bunch of loops for each runner, with a new map for each loop?
This year's race will be the first where we will be using all newly printed maps; the old stockpiles of maps having been all but exhausted.
Biked some after the storm, and then did a long trail run up top, where, to my surprise, it had done little but barely sprinkle. So trails were mostly dry and only slightly damp in a few places. The air was wonderfully clear, there was a light breeze, and the temps were perfect. It felt like being in Scandinavia on a nice summer day.
