Day 2 Western States Championships
Today was great for me. The course was much more technical and I once again had a nice clean run. Only real loss was at number five where I followed a line of knolls that was left of the rocks I should have been on. But when that petered out, I spent only a short time realizing what I had done. It helped that others were in the area near the rocks I needed to be at. Lost about a minute and half on that one.
Altitude was not bothering me as much today, but fatigue in my legs was more of a problem. I started really feeling spent at about number 9, but managed to keep going to the finish without slowing down too much.
Excited with my results. I was slightly faster than yesterday over a longer course. And I made up seven minutes on Goril and stayed ahead of Erin to end up the Western States Champion! I went into today only expecting second place even with a good run, so it was a nice result. Thanks to all who noticed and congratulated me at the finish!
I love Wyoming!
