This was a weird course. Not because of the course itself, or the map. They were great. Also navigation wise, I did great, too. I just felt very absent during the whole course. Maybe because I didn't eat breakfast or something - probably not the best idea. Despite that, I'm happy about my results. I only wish I got under an hour, but honestly? I'm still happy about it. With the very very little running I've been doing recently, I did better than I expected.

I was finally noticing improvement and results from the training we did in Pennsylvania. I immediately saw good route choices and I followed them almost perfectly. I chose good times to take bearings versus following terrain features. The navigation felt easy to me, but not a boring easy, a pleasant easy, that I didn't feel stressed and I knew what I was doinig the whole time.

The only issue I had wa that I felt like crap, but I kind of ignored that by focusing just on navigation. I think if my body wasn't kind of partially shutting down I could've easily made it under an hour. I was able to run almost the whole way until the 4th control, but then I had to walk more and more often.

But I still had fun. This was a nice course, and I like this map (although it could do with more rocks)

after finishing I went on a walk while I was waiting on my mom. I was exhausted, but I felt somewhat resltess and super out of it.

good thing I ended up going to bed early, I ended up falling asleep around 8pm.

for my runs, I think I'm not gonna be putting in my distance, just the time, because I've always hated having to look at how slow I was on that run or how little I ended up running, and the fact that I knew others would be seeing it too when I logged just made it worse. I really want to get back into running, and I'm going to try this for a while until I get comfortable with where I'm at I guess.

but man was it hard getting myself out on this run, I'm glad I ended up doing it.

i started getting a bit of an anxiety attack 2 climbs in so that didn't go so well
