Trail Run 5:00 [1]
warmup
Orienteering 1:18:00 [3]
Western State Champs, blue course. I was pre-running, starting at 7am. Low sun on the horizon made running east challenging. Ran quite well, was concerned about the ankle and navigating well in general. Took it easy up the hill to 2, body wasn't awake yet, got pushed too far west, but quickly corrected. Still wasn't up to speed on 3, 4, and 5. 5 was slow also because I could see that this was a leg that I could really blow it on and was determined not to do that. From there I picked up speed having no navigation issues and good speed. A couple pauses in the circle to find the control occurred but, I never worry about that. The biggest mistake, and it wasn't big, was at 18, had to do a small circle to find the right rock, but if that was the worst, then I shouldn't complain. OB just seconds ahead, but I'm calling it a draw because I woke up nearly all controls, thus loosing time on each.

Secret orienteering. As usual, saw some cool stuff, but it has to remain a secret.

Trail Run 2:01:00 [1] 11.0 mi (11:00 / mi)
At Red Mt. Pretty good place, connects to Soapstone, wonder if its possible for an O-map to be created and if orienteerers would be allowed off trail. It took a good bit for the ankle to get loosed up such that I didn't have to wince each step, other than that, felt pretty good. Trails were Sinking Sun, Big Hole Wash, Cheyenne Rim (which went into WY, where I saw Prong Horns and big cattle with horns), Ruby Wash, and straight back. According to map it was only 11 miles, but seemed like more. And with that, summer is over and it feels like my life is over for the next 9 months.
