Note
From 28th June:-
What a total cluster that race was. But brilliant. I thought the damage was done on 11 and 13, but looking at it I'd lost it from the off. 1 and 3 had poor choices. The mistake at 5 was calamitous and 9-10 was extremely poorly executed. I didn't realise all the route choices available on most of the legs. Great, great course.

10 AM
Orienteering race 1:26:22 [5] 13.32 km (6:29 / km) +286m 5:51 / km
ahr:146 max:161
Western States Long.
Weeeeeeeeee.......Splat. Back down to earth. The usual 10mins mistake....plus extras.
No. 3 Overran by 40 90 secs.
No.4 Overran by 50 m 2mins
No.5 Completely lost contact with the map about 150m out. Somehow got a grip of the situation and got it back together 3mins.
No.6 Ran into the start which completely threw me. For some reason I didn't expect it. Faffed about getting to the fence crossing 3mins.
No. 10 Here's where I should've seen the warning signs for the future. Started to get a tad clever and ran down the wrong path. Corrected and doubled back. 2mins.
No.11 Ran down the wrong re-entrant to the west. (JJ told me. I never saw him and was already in the stage of aimlessly milling about and hit it). 2mins
No. 13..........Bingo! Parallel error on a nuclear scale. 10 mins.
TOTAL...Over 22 mins of mistakes. The winner absolutely smashed it and I bet he's made mistakes. I doff my chapeaux
I honestly think the whole weekend was magic, but that course was sublime. When I got the map and realised there was a flip I knew I was in for something very special. Brilliant.
NB. On a positive note, I unofficially won the Yellow in flip flops and civvies. Eadie took just under 4 hours to find zero controls. That's a family record. She's still smiling and happy though. (Not as happy as I was to see her mind). Many Thanks to Darrell who gave her one of the prizes for her efforts. It helped the pain.
NNB. Groin is there in the background, but today wasn't a factor.
NNNB. After talking with Balter and JJ, who pointed out that by and large the wheels of my race came off at the very end when the hard work was done. I've thought back and the same happened in Tahoe and the JK Long. More mileage under stress at the end is needed. Work to be done and now I've got something to physically concentrate on rather than lLSD mixed with speedwork. Jordan L. always felt the Long should be my strength, but I've only done decently in Sprints and Middles.

Orienteering race 32:01 [5] 5.22 km (6:08 / km) +58m 5:49 / km
ahr:144 max:161
Western States Middle.
Weird race. Didn't expect much with the groin situation, but probably stopped me completely imploding at some point. Very happy not to have the obligatory 5 mins plus mistake.
No. 1 15 secs... whoops not SI air back tracked when my brain thought that's odd.
No.2. 90secs.... heading straight for it, but visibility was so good I saw three people run out of No.3. So I went to investigate. Dumbarse.
No. 6 90secs....overran it by 40m. Slowed and backtracked.
No. 11. 30secs….memorised the wrong control code…shit my pants for 30secs.
I wonder if 9-10 and 13-14 were optimal route choices. Former on the paths and latter round the fence.
This didn't feel particularly special as a run, (Northerns was special and I was 30th!) but it wasn't catastrophic and it looks like it was ultimately very good. This doesn't happen very often so I'm smiling.
NB. Poor nights sleep with feather cactus in my foot. This led me to wear my new shoes. They ran like an Audi with a $29,000 new engine. Sweet, but also painful.

Orienteering 33:07 [3] 3.39 km (9:46 / km) +253m 7:07 / km
ahr:129 max:150
Easy Terrain Run. Lovely place. (Stoddard Creek I15) Turns out it was a hillier version of Lubrecht. Had a catastrophic failure in my groin. Very painful. But still managed to jog after. See what tomorrow brings.
Class drive from T-Ride to Missoula. Forest looks brilliant.
NB. Bit concerned about my compass. Ran a mile out due South. Then a mile back. Strava has me running due S.W./ N.E. Maybe Strava is Grid North? Either way. Seems a long way out.
Yep Grid, but still seems a loooong way out.

Running 44:59 [3] 7.66 km (5:52 / km) +203m 5:11 / km
ahr:127 max:151
Easy from campsite (Utah). Done something to hip joint on last run. Ran past what could be the biggest house in the world with a jet plane randomly sat in the garden. Sat next to a swing set.
NB. Horrible night on the loo. Feeling better-ish.

Not planned. Took the bairns to San Juan Overlook to run/walk the Yellow. Started getting a stomach ache and it went downhill from there.

Running intervals 56:36 [3] 11.75 km (4:49 / km) +72m 4:40 / km
ahr:133 max:152
1x20mins, 2x10mins. Igloo to Fall Creek and back. Good effort. Felt upper thigh ping slightly at the end.
NB. Crappy day today. Had to pay the Queen an exorbitant amount of cash towards her Jubilee today. (She owes me money annoyingly).Spent four hours wasting my time on that.
