Event: Sleepy Hollow 12 hr ROGAINE
Orienteering race 5:57:00 [4] 13.6 mi (26:15 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Cascadia
I'm trying to get around and see different Rogaines to get new ideas. This was my first by NSF. They use a different kind of marker that wraps around the tree. It does not flutter in the wind like the kind of flag I am used to. I did not notice any problem with finding them until late in the meet which was either caused by being tired or the low sun angle. I walked by on marker at about 30 meters did not see until a second loop much higher and 100 meters away.
There had been one control that had been stolen wasted 25 minutes like many others on it. The scenic beauty was fantastic one stretch of the road reminded me of Skyline Drive in VA. I was overall very impressed with the organization of the meet and control placement. Like all Rogaines there were times when the control was in the next re-entrant. Topo maps don't have the accuracy of regular Orienteering map.
I was not as sharp as I have been on my last couple Rogaines may have been camping out in the cold the night before. (Rain tarp was frozen to the top of the tent in the AM.) Who knows sometimes you're the bug and sometimes you're the windshield.

I have been answering an email everyday about the Goat meet in Dec. It's been interesting, the schools love this location because it's 40 minutes south of Louisville.

Reserved a camp site at the state park for Friday - had to do Saturday also. I think the camp sites are within walking distance of the start location.
Starting to pull together the camping gear plus what I need for the Rogaine.
I had a good time at the meet yesterday. I have to admit you get quite a rush when you cannot find yourself on a map. Kind of like the rush at a horror show. I wish my time was better but for right now just concentrating on enjoying myself.
