Orienteering race (31034) 3:10:34 [3]
Ultralong at Western Champs, Idaho City, ID
I can now honestly say that ultra-longs are not my thing. This was a long, physically demanding course, and I made some very stupid navigational errors, which just compounded the misery. And, once I heard what the temperature was going to be, my goal became just to finish the course, which I did.
It was hot...not so bad in the beginning, but by the end, it was kind of brutal. I probably should have stopped by around control 12, but I just wanted to finish. Donna Fluegel said I looked like hell when I finished, the worst she's ever seen me. It took me a good while to recover, even having to stop and sit down on the way back to the car. I was very glad when it was over.

Orienteering race 22:32 [4] 2.31 km (9:45 / km)
Sprint at Western States Champs.
It was quite hot. I was okay for the first 2/3 of the course, but then it was out in the open for the final few controls, and I could definitely feel the heat. I hit all of the controls fairly cleanly, so my lack of speed was the main factor in my time. (It wasn't a particularly navigationally-challenging course.) I think I ended up second woman on the course, though, behind Eileen Breseman, so I'm happy with that.

Note
We met Sam for dinner in downtown Boise, at a pizza place that Brooke recommended. It was full inside, so we sat outside. It was still pretty hot, but bearable with a nice cold beer.
Then we went walking around the capitol, where Mikell and Sam got into some kind of argument with some trappers.

Note
Happy Father's Day to my dad, Bob Beecroft, who died far too young. (Yes, that's mom.)
And Happy Father's Day to Don, who stepped in and has done a fabulous job guiding me and making my mom so happy! (No, that's not mom!)
