RMOC, Orienteering Meet, White Ranch, Colorado
This is the hardest Omeet I have done to date with RMOC. I signed up Solo to run the long course and it was long with lots of elevation change! Lots!! Tall grass, plenty of boulders (at one point I said to myself I never thought I would be bouldering during a Omeet! lol) Took off great for the first point and ended up going straight up climbing, came short of my check point and decided to head to the road(hand rail) to get back on track as I started to go down hill and that was not correct. Wasted some time but back on track! The tall grass was a challenge and I had to keep telling myself NO snakes. Keep running or jog running as I didnt want to twist my ankle on a rock or down tree. I wasent fast but my barrings were right on so much another racers started following me....rrrrrr. How you going to learn if you follow someone.....this is for practice! Anyway....had a great time. It was HOT! Finished the course! Thank you to the volunteers for the challenge and for having water on the course. After the Meet we hung out and taught a few fellow orienteering/adventure racers how to PLOT UTMs. Fun day by all!
