Event: 2016 US Two-Day Classic Championships and Sprint Relay
 

Classic champs at Ward Pound Ridge. Went mostly pretty well. Had a fairly big mistake on 2, but otherwise things went ok. Felt great running.

Saturday - Red - Splits

Model event for classic champs at Westmoreland. Pretty fun, though there were lots of crappy rocks on the ground, and I was all sorts of tired from flying over and getting to sleep at 3am.

Long run from the base of Squaw up to the top of Granite Chief, then out along its ridgeline to Needle Pk and Lyon Pk. The trail up was ok once I got on it (had a bit of a detour at the start), just steep and full of bees. From Granite Chief out to the far end was no trail, and pretty crappy boulder hopping / side hilling across scrubby loose dirt. Apparently it's not too popular of a route, the summit can on Lyon only had three other people in it for this whole year.

Then backtracked, which went faster because I wasn't wasting time trying to find a good route, just bashing across the crappy stuff. Then wandering down the access roads of Squaw, which were also full of bees.

There were rumors of snow today, but its been dry at the house. Looks like Mt Rose got some though.
