Boulderdash Blue Day 2; I forgot my Garmin. I felt very tired from the festivities the day before, and my legs were sluggish. The terrain was technical and tricky, and I was very cautious on the first technical leg - 2 - as I settled into the map. My execution was generally clean, though it was marred with hesitations and slowness. I think my route to 5 was good, but sluggishly done after I left the trail. I hesitated noticeably to 7, 8, 12, 15, with errors (~60-90 seconds) at 10 and 16. Surprised to finish second, but really far behind Isak.

Big thanks to the UNO folks for a great event, and especially to the start people for letting me move my start up 30 minutes so I could get back to the wedding.

Warmup jog to the start with Magnus.

Wedding-O; course and map by Ed. I made some mental mistakes - I hesitated for about five seconds en route to 1, and attacked 6 stupidly, losing about 20s. Flow wasn't great - which is ridiculous; sprint technique can be practiced by rote. It's not that hard to stay smooth, read ahead, plan, and fold - especially on terrain as simple as today's.

4x Maze-O, by Barb and Dave. Great fun.

Fun pre-wedding run around the forest trails of the Diabetes center with the O-gang; Ross, Sam, Alex, Ed, Greg, Zan, Boris, Carol. We were uncertain about our location (i.e. lost) at one point and discussed whom we would eat first in the Donner scenario.
