Training Log: Swampfox

Smoke arrived (finally) Sunday, and starting Monday it has been visually thick, but otherwise not bad. It's also been warm to hot, and I had planned to get out earlier in the morning today for some orienteering. However, there was enough work to do that it wasn't until the early afternoon that I could break away, and as I was driving up the hill and still planning on orienteering, I called an audible and ran trails at Happy Jack instead--where it would be at least a little bit cooler and have more shade.

It was actually quite pleasant up there. Yes, warm, but there was enough breeze that it felt fine, and I didn't really appreciate how warm it was until I finished and not catching any breeze anymore.

The best thing was seeing that dragonflies are starting to appear up on the trails, and are doing a good job of patrolling.

Ran intervals, dispatched one mini deer fly, and saw several dragonflies. Things are looking up.

Orienteering at Diamond Bay.
