- Burgener warm-up, snatch technique practice and warm-up.

- "Isabel" -- snatch x 30, for time. Prescribed weight was 135# / 95#. I used 55# -- 5:55.

Rocky Mountain Goat.

Super-fun! I wore my brace and mostly walked, and my ankle felt amazingly good.

I didn't have any wandering errors, and I'm pretty happy at how my tracks look. I think that's due to (a) walking instead of running, and (b) this map is very open. Both of those factors made it much easier to match-up the map to what I was seeing, without losing contact.



(Lost GPS signal from #11 to #12 and from #27 to Finish.)

I spent much of yesterday icing my ankle, and it feels better. Also, I have a lace-up brace that seems to work wonders. Woo-hoo!

One Cowboy-Relay

I walked around the first three loops, stopping to take lots of photos. When I saw how flat and open the fourth loop was, and when I realized there were a few people behind me and I might not be "DFL", I decided to go for it and run (jog).

This was a lot of fun.

Laramie Daze! Woo-hoo!

I took today and tomorrow off from work, made a hotel reservation, packed my clothes, bought a bunch of food, drove a couple hours north to Laramie, got my map from Mikell, and headed to the start. Between my car and the start, I stepped in a hole and rolled my ankle. Sh*t!!! I cringed and grimaced on the ground for about five minutes before I dared to stand up. Definitely the worst ankle-sprain I can remember having...

So I hobbled back to my car, bought some advil and ice in town, and headed back home.

Very disappointing.
