I tossed and turned until 2am -- and then had to be up for a 6am conference call this morning. Ugh. I think it's my new thyroid rx that has been causing major insomnia lately.
Neighborhood walk at dusk.

Runners Roost social run -- with beer & food afterwards @ Murphy's Tap House. Fun! Discussed potential plans for a Moab 30K in Feb 2018, and WMOC 2018 in Denmark. "Things to look forward to."

5K time trial. I was running late from work so I missed the warmup mile...so my first mile was kind of a warmup.
Splits were 10:16, 9:48, 8:44, 0:34 = 29:22.
Walked & jogged a quarter-mile to cool down.

Event: RMOC - Round Mountain
Orienteering race (Red course) 1:14:37 [3] 5.74 mi (13:00 / mi) +489ft 12:02 / mi
slept:6.0 weight:109lbs shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (2016)
A great day at Round Mountain, race-wise, friend-wise, and weather-wise. It was not-so-great (physically nauseating, actually) to see Troy there with his new girlfriend.
I made a dumb mistake on my way to #6. My plan was to follow the fence and then use the corner as my attackpoint (or maybe more of a waypoint). But I was so focused on the private-property fence that I didn't even notice the N-S fence on the map, so I headed off 90 degrees in the wrong direction when I hit it. DUH.
Small bearing issues on the way to #7 and #13. HUGE bearing screw-up on the way to #16. Sigh...
But I finished 4th overall -- happy with that. Mid-course, running in a dispersed pack with Simon & Mickey definitely helped a few times (normally, it seems like I'm 100% on my own without the helpful sightings of people entering & leaving controls). On the other hand, talking to Mickey caused me to lose track of my pace count and map contact a few times -- but Mickey is a nice guy and I was trying to give pointers. :-)
I enjoyed the course -- maybe would have preferred a bit more technical, rocky challenge.
