A gift from the gods--it was 76 degrees today! So I decided to run the sprint course I set at Bonner Park. I was trying to beat twice John's time. I thought I had made it, but I had remembered his time wrong. Next time I'll push it !!!
I didn't run very hard, but I ran steady--no walking at all. So that's pretty good. And sets a time base for running this course again in the future.
A long slow jog at a new area. I explored Prairie Creek (part of the Platte county greenbelt). It was nice and flat, but paved and open to the sky. It would have been brutal on a sunny day.
But it was nice on a rainy day, and I had the place to myself. I love going to new places, too. So it was a fun run.
Sprint O at Longview. I guess I expected park O, so I was pretty frustrated when we had lots of high grass and thons to penetrate. Not fun.
Also, I was thinking too much about the running, and not enough about the orienteering, so I made a silly route choice late in the course. Must remember not to do this during the Sprint Finals weekend.
