Laramie Day 1 RMOF Granite Planite Middle course: Green
So nice to be back in Laramie. Since it was my first day at altitude, and I hadn't been on a Laramie map in three years, I knew I had to walk this course. I did jog a few times down hill, and from the Go control, but that was all.
I worked hard on my concentration, and I often talked to myself out loud (describing features I would see, which control number I was looking for, etc). And that worked very well. Small bobble on 8 and 17, and some hesitation as I approached 2 and saw two women talking/looking at their map as if they were not at the control.
Lots of fun on the course, and lots of fun talking with all my friends who I haven't seen in way too long.

Nice dinner with Lisa, Tom and Gene at Prairie Rose.

Gene set a course on a map in progress of Sesquicentennial Park. I had not run on portions of this map in more than 20 years, I think. It was a good warm up for Laramie. I was running in unfamiliar areas and I practiced how to react when I made mistakes or got tired.
A lot of compass legs, which I screwed up. The vegetation is much thicker around 2 and 7. I chose to skip 5 because I know the area well and going up the hill just to turn around again did not appeal to me. Disappointed with the miss at 9 and picking the wrong feature (at first) when going to 13.

It was hot. I was tired. I bailed on two markers, and walked a lot.
