WCOC blue day 2 long. Much better than yesterday. Not that I really did better, but I felt a whole lot better running. Navigation went really well, for the most part I felt like I was just running the whole time, not slowing down to have to navigate. Big mistake on the long leg (12), went around the east side of the big swamp 2/3 of the way through, but then somehow missed the white section west of 24 and cut across through the all green crap. Too high on 26, so I ran over towards the out of bounds section. Then went up the big rentrant west of 27, figured it out and climbed up through the cliffs, but didn't go far enough once on the top so I messed around in there for a bit.

WCOC blue day 1 middle. Not the greatest run. Ok in the beginning up through the first long leg (10), then I started to get tired and my stomach felt gross from the penicillin, so I wasn't paying too much attention to where I was going for the end couple controls. Pretty big mistake at 11, way too far left (wrong side of 13), and then stopped short on 12.

Blue Day 1: Middle - Splits

on the way to Redding on friday afternoon I stopped by the Sacramento zoo to play with the camera. some of the better pics. they actually turned out pretty good considering most of them I was focusing straight through chainlink fence, so it washed out big chunks of the frame.

and also others from the training.

Finally got to the doctor this afternoon, and she hooked me up with all sorts of happy drugs. Also said I should swim less and ski more, and given that i haven't done the former in a couple years, i'm gonna have to work double hard on the latter. But considering that I'm probably out of commission this week and east next week, I think i might have to declare defeat on ski season. At least for the close stuff, there's still another month or two in the high sierra, but that takes some work.
