Hike at DL Bliss SP on the SW shore of Lake Tahoe. Nice views. Sunny, dry and mid 70s.

Day 2 of US 2-Day Classic Champs on Little Truckee Summit map.

Found them all, didn't get hurt and it was another fine day in the woods. Was significantly more efficient finding the controls than yesterday, as in "spiked-them-all" efficient (something which doesn't happen often). Quite happy with the run. Less climb on today's course and it seemed to be even more open and runnable than yesterday. Sub-optimal route choice on #5 but I don't think it cost much time. First M60, 5th overall on Green. Well out of the medals for two-day combined time.

SL distance 5.8k with 135m climb.

C • Big improvement! 5

Walk to start.

Green X Classic Day 2 - Splits

Day 1 of US 2-Day Classic Champs on Little Truckee Summit map.

Found all of the controls in order, any injuries are minor and it was a nice day to be out in the woods. FR track tells the story.

6.2k straight line distance. Climb advertised as 130m, I counted about 210m for an optimum route and actually did significantly more.

Green X Classic Day 1 - Splits

Event: BAOC: Truckee A-meet
 

Sprint at Northstar Resort near Truckee, CA, a prelude to the US 2-Day Classic Champs. A mix of forest (with ski and mtb trails) and urban (in the village at Northstar). Sunny, dry and low 70's with low oxygen.

Had a decent run, losing 20-25 seconds on the 3rd control but hitting the rest OK. Several hesitations to be sure I knew what I was doing and felt the lack of oxygen on the uphill final control and finish run-in. Second M60 (48 sec behind Rick, 2 sec ahead of Soupbone) and about 10th or so on Green (behind mostly M50s and F20s). Phil was one second faster, but he took a shortcut.

Green Sprint - Splits

In Lassen NP from the Visitors Center to Mill Creek Falls. At ~6700ft elevation, so no snow on the ground (snow was at ~7000 ft and above, from the day before). Mostly sunny with temps in the upper 40s - quite nice.
