| Lippitt Bollinger loop. Power was out all AM so I waited to see if there would be water for a shower when I was done. By then, the sun and temp was getting up there, though the humidity was OK. Usual 15/1 approach and I still felt beat by the end. Could be 1)heat, 2)not recovered from death march on Sunday, or 3)deer tick bites from Sunday that weren't found till Monday. Good thing already on antibiotics for tooth abscess... |

| VF Fatlands--a disaster in multiple dimensions...
- went late (to stay late to pick up epunch equipment) on a day where the temp was rising all day to about 97F and similar humidity. Almost quit a few times out of fear of not making it back.
- went out after trying to help at epunch registration with new epunch rental system. mind was already wasted before I started.
- complicated course with lots of criss-crossing, shared controls, and poor map printing led to overall confusion as to where I was supposed to be going (aided by extreme heat and sweat in the eyes).
Lessons: don't even try if not in a frame of mind to concentrate. shorter courses in extreme heat... |
