Event: Camp Ransburg O-Meet
 

ICO-Camp Ransburg Red. Not too difficult technically, but the climb was much and today's temps high, with almost no leaf cover. Unusually leaden and tired right out of the start (hopefully due entirely to heat). Didn't see an obvious way to #2. Legs toast after #4. Looked in several wrong reentrants for #8. Movement then slowed to a crawl and feet soon became toast as well. Caught or passed a few parties early but they probably ultimately took the heat, climb, and distance better. At this rate O half-m should take only 12 hrs. :)

B went out alone w/o compass, starting a few mins before me. Caught him at #1, but he was gone after that and finished in 3 hrs. He's done well and enjoys it, so shall congratulate self on o-gospel spreading efforts. :) Extra excitement: newly fallen trees blocked exit from venue, so waited while Ranger Keith took care of that. Then finally able to have dinner at chili's w/ mikeminium and hkleaf, who both passed me nearish #10, and Adam, a young OCIN-area runner.

Pushed harder than usual and felt great. Sunset was beautiful. Crossed paths twice with a quartet of slightly older guys apparently doing some kind of long workout.
