Orienteering race 22:32 [4] 2.31 km (9:45 / km)
Sprint at Western States Champs.
It was quite hot. I was okay for the first 2/3 of the course, but then it was out in the open for the final few controls, and I could definitely feel the heat. I hit all of the controls fairly cleanly, so my lack of speed was the main factor in my time. (It wasn't a particularly navigationally-challenging course.) I think I ended up second woman on the course, though, behind Eileen Breseman, so I'm happy with that.

Note
We met Sam for dinner in downtown Boise, at a pizza place that Brooke recommended. It was full inside, so we sat outside. It was still pretty hot, but bearable with a nice cold beer.
Then we went walking around the capitol, where Mikell and Sam got into some kind of argument with some trappers.

Note
Happy Father's Day to my dad, Bob Beecroft, who died far too young. (Yes, that's mom.)
And Happy Father's Day to Don, who stepped in and has done a fabulous job guiding me and making my mom so happy! (No, that's not mom!)

Orienteering 2:38:00 [3] 8.0 km (19:45 / km)
This was not a good day. :-( I could blame it on the heat and not having done this long of a course in quite a while, but the truth is my navigating was abysmal, beginning with the first control. I'm not sure why I wasn't concentrating or thinking very well, but I bobbled almost every control, with major mess-ups at 10, 12, and 13. And a spectacularly bad route choice from 4 to 5.
And, finally, the heat got to me, and from 12 on, I was toast. I didn't resort to lying down in a stream like Brooke (although I wish I had thought of that!), but I definitely hit the wall. So glad when I got to the finish and could just sit down and recuperate.
The day got better, though, when the last stragglers (me, Amy, John, Doug, Jen, and JP) finished packing up and went to a very nice brewpub....oh, sorry: The Very Nice Brewpub in Nederland. A great way to end the day.
