Middle Champs at Vasquez Rocks. A glorious day in so many different ways, except one -- might as well get this out of the way first -- mid-afternoon we were about to head off to Red Rock Canyon to check out the model for the Long Champs and I rolled my right ankle in the parking lot. WTF. But although it felt like the ankle was momently far beyond its normal range of motion, it seems like I got lucky. We still went off and did the model. I walked around there for a while and it was tolerable. So I'll at least start tomorrow.
But that is the normal for any orienteering these days. I start a course, no idea whether something will bust before I am done.
For the middle, nothing busted. And I orienteered rather well. AP says I lost no time, but it has rather low standards. But really, other being a dumb ass and following Pavlina though a gap in some cliffs that anyone my age ought to have enough sense not to do, well, the rest was real good. And it is an amazing place for orienteering.
Physically, well, my conditioning sure hasn't improved in the last 3+ weeks of inactivity. So the running segments were shorter and shorter, the tiredness very much making itself known. But, a big but, it was such a pleasure to get to do the whole course with nothing getting busted, without walking back to the finish from the wrong direction. Been looking forward to this day for quite a while, and it did not disappoint.
Routes are on Livelox.

And then the model for Long Champs, walked around with Phil and Clint in the late afternoon light. Gorgeous.
