Two full loops at Hidden Mesa, plus several loops on the rocky portion. I was finally able to ride up one of the rocks that has been my nemesis; I did it successfully three out of five times, and didn't hurt myself too badly the other two times... Now there's only one rock left to conquer in the counter-clockwise direction.

We had fantastic 65-degree weather -- but a big blizzard is supposedly moving in tomorrow night. Ugh.

(Total time = 2:02:27, moving time = 1:07:19)

Event: RMOC - Orienteering Meet Bear Creek Lake Park
 

Oof -- this was long. And I was only one position away from being "DFL". Judging by the splits graph, I made up that one position on the final, long leg to #12 (1.25 miles).

This was basically just a long Orange. Many controls were next to trails or visible from 100+ meters away. BCLP is so open, there's not much available for a technical course. Cherry Creek, Chatfield, and BCLP make up my trio of least-favorite RMOC maps.

On the plus-side: I got to hear an amazing bird song, I saw a collection of turtles sunning on a log, I saw an apparent gang war between two factions of geese (dive bombing each other, chasing each other, honking loudly & continuously, etc.), and I got to eat a delicious Danish pastry.

Red - Splits

· One-mile jog to warm up.

· Hill repeats x 10 (at Louisville Rec Center trail).

· One-mile jog / walk to cool down

Perfect, sunshine-y, warm, non-windy conditions!

I couldn't motivate myself to go to Spring Training in the "frozen mix" conditions. Stayed at work 'til 10pm instead, after an RMOC board meeting. Ugh.
