Rogaining 11:55:00 [3]
(Not sure of our exact finish time.)
The Estonian organizers did a fantastic job.
The map was awesome - built from a number of O maps but altered to work well at 1:40000.
The weather was perfect: cool, not rainy. Few bugs; none that bothered me.
There were swamps and bogs and marshes and "wet forests" but most of the time we were walking on dry land. I wore the light hiking shoes an Australian sold me in Banff earlier this summer. I also wore O gaiters plus ankle gaitors over the top of those. This system worked really well at keeping the water out - just a little got in but my feet stayed mostly dry even when I stepped in water up to my ankles. No blisters. Feet were really sore the last few hours as usual.
The rogaine only sucked for a couple of hours (because of the painful feet), which is pretty good!
My back held up OK, helped by all the ibuprofen.

Rogaining 12:00:00 [5]
1st half of rogaine in Estonia with Peter. We did well - kept moving; no major problems. The Europeans are impressive - so many really good teams.
I spoke with Bob Reddick, Vladimir, Eric Smith, Rod & Neil Phillips about various IRF issues. Sounds like we'll be approaching USOF about joining IRF as a member; need to work out the governance details and spell out the value to USOF. Also discussed where the next WRC will be, and how to allot spaces to countries when there are limited spaces at a WRC.
