Did a jogeroo for a warmup, because otherwise my crunchy ankle just won't behave! Actually may have sped up a bit faster than a jogeroo near the end, legs were feeling pretty speedy! Remembered sunscreen today, woo!

Blue Middle @ Cuivre River

Much different than last weeks middle, very visible and small scale ridge-and-valley type terrain. So time to run fast! Was sometimes a bit off, but always just enough info around to correct. From splits, I was pretty even on short legs, seem to have lost the most on the two longish ones, no real mistakes.

Third to Clem then Mikell, nemisesed Ian by a minute.

3- a bit off towards the south, shape of the reentrant told me
4- also a bit too far south, again, the shape of the high plateau ending was helpful
5- perplexed at how I ended up so much lower, thought I was on a good bearing from a ditch junction....
7- was confused at first big reentrant junction, for some reason forgot to expect it...
9- went R of the line, maybe better left, attempted to use a boulder in a reentrant as attack, never found it (almost the only boulder on map), but at least reentrant was a-ok
12 - decided to try to avoid a few ditches, aimed more left, probably not worth it
13- bit scary find-a-tree, but I stayed right on line the whole way
14- battle through grossness!

Shadowing Alex's friend Sharon on her first orienteering course- yellow and I was a fairly active shadow, but was fun and she did find all!

Middle corn maze-o champs

And hard as usual, corn mazes are really great. This one was more about route planning, making sure you could get through the maze to each control. I failed that on #7, just didn't see I couldn't get through heading around this circle-y thing going clockwise, had to backtrack...
