ahr:115 max:150 shoes: Salomon Speedcross Pro
Wildcat Course Clearing
Good day. Postponed from yesterday because I was worried there might be a lot of ice from freezing rain like we had in BBurg. Got a report from a local though that said it was just snow so that was good.
Drove out (had some trouble finding the entrance without my phone) and started a little later than I wanted just before 10. Temp was 30F and sunny at the start and I was warm enough to go SS. Accidentally brought lone tights instead of 3/4. It warmed up to 40 but the sun disappeared and got windy. I thought it felt colder than at the start.
I was picking up all the controls that had been left and there were a few scattered here and there. I dropped down to Thurmond Rd to switch from the W to E end of camp. Had a steep descent and a big ascent though. I also didn't have a ton of controls so I didn't mind lengthening some of my route choices a bit to check something out or save some elevation. It was 2 miles and 45 mins shorter than I did last year and 700ft less elevation.
I had a little trouble finding one of the bearing points because I wasn't using the bearings (just where Mark told me they were) and I didn't match the clues up correctly. Everything else was pretty clean. Got cliffed out once.
Started getting pretty tired and weak just before the 6 hour mark. Could have done a little more but was glad to be done.
Saw a beautiful fox on the southern end of camp. He ran away though as I pulled out my phone to take a picture.

Easy loop just because I hadn't ran in a while and I wanted to get the dogs out but didn't want to do too much before my big day tomorrow.
