Event: US Sprint/Middle/Long Championships
 

US Middle Champs, Moses Lake, WA. Green X. Forerunner distance = 6.3k

This was the tale of two halves. The first half of the race I felt good, was moving well, and just made a few little errant veerings.

By the time I hit the water control, which was roughly half-way (or a little less than halfway) through the course, I was done. It was way too hot for me, and I began to feel the effects of it. I made very stupid route choices, couldn't make sense of the terrain, and was very hesitant.

AOWN: On my way to #2, I saw a Great Horned Owl swooping down near me. I didn't know what type of owl it was at first, but I looked it up when I got back. It was very large.

Green X Middle - Splits

A side trip to the Grand Coulee dam on the way to Moses Lake.

An easy run checking out the model event. It was kind of mosquitoey, kind of sandy, kind of full of prickly grasses, and very hot!

Went running with Mikell at the Turnbull NWR. It was such a beautiful place, and I saw a coyote! I think my first one ever. And some elk, snakes, turtles, and plenty of birds. It felt good to get out after a day of travel.
