Orienteering 1:02:00 [3]
Time for the O' run of the year--with this year's opening venue being the always nice and highly exposed Crow Marsh. What made this as especially auspicious selection was the wind today, which was at proper full blown Wyoming gale strength, the type of wind where when you try to start warming up by jogging into the wind, you go immediately anaerobic. No telling how much higher the Nebraska Sandhills were getting today, what with all the fines from Wyoming that was being propelled that way at the speed of wind. "The Wyoming Sandhills" really would be the more apt name, considering the source of origin of the material making up the Sandhills region.
Afterwards, I stopped by the store to buy some new socks. Orienteering is hard on socks, and I plan to go through a lot of socks between now and whenever the first snowfall arrives at the end of the summer, whenever that is--late July, early August, whatever.
