Touring Tuolumne Meadows , Soda Springs and along the Merced River with Judy.. Mostly walking, but boredom set in on the way back and we jogged the last few miles.

1st leg for the NE Vets team. Within a minute I was running on my own, compass to 1. No one in sight until 2 or sorunners at the control, then they were gone and saw no one, even looking back once or twice,arriving at the stadium run through. The last loop was a simple 3 control white level, so ran that really hard. The HR shows I was in zone 5 for most of the time, and it sure felt that way.

Bummer on 1 as I went right to the control feature, no control, relocated and then saw it....the code was foot of W cliff, which I had not read carefully (I would have said between the cliffs). Other controls were in thick waist high vegetation, hard to see the rock feature, and on one control, I was a bit nervous having to go over a boulder field high on hill, which was also covered with thick bushes (and despite the mess there, I had the fastest split). Ran hard when I could , but lost time at several controls when I couldn't see the control right there.
