Event: Dirt Floor 8 Hour Rogaine
 

One of the toughest races, I have been a part of. I went back & used a string to measure the distance covered and climb. The climb was about a mile on the part of the course I covered.

I ended up taking first in the solo division. Many of my fellow racers were overtime, also several "rescues" where teams were picked up due to exhaustion, cramping and a broken fibula.

I ran out of water with about 1hr left was cramping bad. Ended up with the death march to the finish. I had to run the last 300 meters with both legs cramping to get in on time.

The control that will be bronzed in my mind forever was CP 6. Started at the bottom of the spur which lasted for 800 meters. The climb on the spur was about 520 feet. And the spur was covered with boulders requiring a rock scramble for about 500 of the meters. Too steep to go around on the sides.

I left everything on the course, nothing left in the tank. Recovery day -Sunday.

Packing tonight for the Rogaine. Can't wait. Weather should be great.

watched the 7 video interview with Eric Boone about Rogaines on Runbosco. Interesting what you can pick up from something like that. So glad the Rogaine on Saturday will be in cooler weather!

Finished updating the Camp Stem Map with the GPS Data.

Set Time on controls 31 - 76. Control 44 was dead used the remaining start control to replace it. I wanted to replace 47 since V=3.0 but waiting on the shipment of 8 controls under repair to make it back. I don't need the start controls at the score o's, I can just use the start keys.
