Lazy stretch-out. Felt good. A little stiff this morning, fine once I got on the road.

Got maybe 4 hrs sleep and dry socks (luxuries for a rogaine). Off an hour before daybreak. Got the feet wet crossing the creek at the first control, oh well. Then climbing and crossing areas with trails questionably mapped, or not mapped, or not existing.

Good planning, aggresssive running and navigation.

For 1st place overall. Not bad for a couple geezers!

Event: The Stockville
 

Two day rogaine in upstate PA with Charlie Leonard. Great and friendly organization by Abby and Brent from Rootstock Racing.

Been raining constantly all week (17” since beginning of September) so all the creeks were way up. In fact, we had dozens to cross, including a km up a raging creek with beautiful but deadly rapids and waterfalls. The crossings were mostly knee deep or less, but a couple were deeper and scary. Fast water and slippery footing.

Good selection of route choices and options to skip. Lots of climb and views from the escarpment looking down the valleys.

Finished the day 11 min overtime, got a waiver due to a poorly mapped section around the last and mandatory control. In good position for day 2.

Added gps track for the part of day before battery went dead.

Stretching and mobility before long 2 day race this weekend. Then some agility drills.

Sickle bar cutting briars along secondary ski trails. Still would like to make another pass on the upper trails by the Tea House. Some drizzle, but didn't really notice it.

Night track run, freezing and breezy 200's. Felt good, but not super fast.
