MNOC Nerstrand Winter Score O- ran the S part first with packed snowmobile trails and short sections off trail in moderately deep (12" snow, which was quite firm in places), then tackled the N part (off trail (since no travel on ski trails) . Finished with a '5' effort run in soft snow uphill to get back in time ... nearly upchucked at finish but made it with 29 seconds to spare . 2nd place with 1 control less and 2 minutes longer than Andrei

Swimming in the pool at the base of the La fortuna waterfall. The flow and drop of approximately 30 meters made the whole 50m diameter pool one big washing machine. Lots of fun provided you stayed out of the actual impact area ( deadly)
Arenal hanging bridges hike through various levels of tropical rainforest . Highest bridge was 55 meters above forest floor and 100 meters long. Very interesting experience
Followed this with 2 hrs at Ecothermal hot springs soaking and drinking with Mike, Julia and Lori
