Running 1:00:00 [4]

In Ann Arbor. Ran to Dolph Park and back with my music. Right knee started to make a bit of noise so I walked the last part. I don't want it to get any louder so I might lay off the running for a couple weeks.

Note

Laramie Daze are here! Must watch out for falling trees, and remember to yield to horses and moose, but only maybe to bikers.

Orienteering 1:40:00 [4]
shoes: Saucony (snake)

First day of Laramie Daze. Managed to arrive just shortly after, and park right next to Craig W., in my shiny orange Camaro, which fit into the O scene real well.

1 - Got close enough and then since it was a mass start, was able to see people at the control. Still, it's surprising how quickly the crowd disperses, despite the mass start.

2 - Again, got close enough and then scanned the ridge.

3 - good

4 - Was too far west of the control, but on the right contour line.

5 - Had trouble, but it seemed a number of people did and someone mentioned that a re-entrant was missing from the map.

6 - fine

7 - happy with this one.

8 - Oh, a very green experience to the fence. Much greener than the map let on. After crossing the fence I followed the trail to the first hairpin turn, left the trail and planned to follow the contour line past the re-entrant. I'm disappointed that I let myself get distracted by the other orienteers. I had a good plan, and had I kept with it, would have found the control in much better time.

9 - Took the stream to the trail, which was slow, but pretty and fun. Nice run down to 9.

10 - Surprisingly difficult trek to 10. I think it was the change in altitude. Any climb at all seemed to get me incredibly winded.

Climbing 1:00:00 [3]

Wow. Super fun time at Vedauwoo. Rocks were gorgeous. Popped on my climbing shoes and climbed up as high as I felt comfortable going. I see the allure of soloing.
