Rogaining race 12:00:00 [5]
weight:129lbs
First half of the rogaine - aka the prelude.
I'm sure PG will have all the details. :-)
Very wonderful experience, in retrospect, as always. Awesome partner. And, I got to stay in Sunderland Fri and Sun nights, which meant getting to eat Gail's excellent dinners! I like the moss. It feels good on the bare rogaine-tenderized feet.
Felt nauseous sometimes. Candidate reasons include: heat, diet change (eg sugar), sugar ups/down, needed a more substantial breakfast than iced decaf coffee + corn muffin, fanny pack belt pressure on the GI tract. Next time, bring Tums and salt. Feeling sick is no fun during a rogaine.
Just one blistered area on the back of the right heel. Legs and joints felt pretty good. Really good. Feet hurt again but were not quite as intolerable as they felt last rogaine.
I sure am grateful to the folks who go to so much trouble to put on these rogaine experiences for us! Thank you!
Thanks also to Barb & Mark for the hot shower! And Charlie for bringing me food when it was too painful to walk to the food table!
I have lots of questions about how/what the other teams did. What routes? Did any of them end up in the really thick stuff? What was hard? How did the team work together?
