MNOC 6 hr rogaine at Rock lake area in Chequamecon Nat Forest . We had a remote start/finish about 2 miles S of cty rd M on rock lake rd. Very nice terrain , a fair number of trails and old roads but lots of open spaces and complex terrain between them. It was warm and humid. Took 2 E caps the day before, 2 at breakfast , and 4 during event and had no cramp issues.
JJ and I set a conservative pace so as to avoid overheating and hitting the wall later on . Navigated well except for one control 104 which we were close but not reading the terrain well so went back to trail ( 5 - 10 mins error) .
We finished with 23 points out of the 26 in 5 hr 35 min for a 2nd place in coed division (oops - correction - same sex division) and 4th overall (behind Gear Junkie and Andrei, Mollie and Justin, who swept in ~ 5hr 20 min and Pete W 25 pts in ~5 hr 39min ).

with Andrei K at Cable on the way to MNOC 6hr rogaine.
We stopped at the N End ski hut and did the section of the single track Ojibwe trail round clockwise to the forest road on the S before bailing out and back via forest raod due to time and approaching bad weather.
Trail was a little overgrown in places but still a lot of fun.
Had nice pizza in Cable before moving on to our campsite at L Namakagon in the pouring rain.
