Day 1 at WCOC. Another night of restless sleep (too many thoughts in my head, including "what ideas were listed on AP for insomnia" and random alarms going off on my phone (sorry Valerie!). Which meant I knew I would have to be careful not to blow up today.
I had no major blow ups, but I felt like I was moving in a fog the whole time. I was just not sharp. Tried to be careful on the way to 1, but didn't really have a plan. Wandered a bit. Decided to bail out to a trail, and on the way, I managed to relocate. More time lost at 4, but I relocated quickly. Too much hesitation and wandering at 5; should have relocated sooner.
I walked the whole way today. I knew if I tried to push the pace, my brain would be fried. So, the best I can say about today was I managed to avoid disaster.
No idea what happened to my GPS track. It captured total time and each split, but GPS seems to have stopped around 5. HR isn't right either. Very weird...
