Event: ICO Yellowwood
 

ICO Yellowwood Meet attempt at the Red course. After overnight rain, the trails and hillsides were slick and the hills seemed even steeper than I remembered - I should have started on the Green. Big mistake on C2 where I descended further west than intended and mistook the big stream for the smaller stream leading to C2 and ended up near to C9. I should have used my compass to avoid the parallel error. Recovered by walking S to the foot of the ridge and the easterly stream system to C2. I was an hour out at C3 so decided to cut off the north controls and skipped over to C9. The southern controls had less brutal climbs but I ended up only getting 9 through 16 and finishing without C17 and C18 at 3 hours.

Y multifit training; time trials at Fall Creek Parkway. trial #1

I didn't get to the Y to ride down to Fall Creek with the group because we watched a woman get hit by a car at the corner of West and New York. The driver stopped to ask if she was all right but then took off. We waited for the police but they didn't seem like they would put much effort into finding the driver. Fortunately the women was OK but she is going to be sore tomorrow.
