Rick should win more super vet rogaine categories; Raccoongaine results are the most popular post ever on the SMOC Facebook page.

Event: Raccoongaine 2013
9 AM
Orienteering 5:52:50 ** 18.72 mi (18:51 / mi) +1176m 15:46 / mi
ahr:151 max:185 spiked:27/29c slept:7.5 shoes: INOV8 285
Awaiting Raccoongaine results. EXHAUSTED.
2nd in Elite Men to the overall winners, who were unstoppable (Team SOG), 46 of 50 points; I am guessing they are in the high 20s for distance, since I had ~29 controls with 17 miles (AP sometimes rounds up a bit). Brain fuzzy; so no confirmation of overall placing.
Rick took 1st in Super Vets. Cooper was nursing a swollen ankle, amazingly grabbing 22 controls in 5:15. Shane returned on time, but not in the money in a competitive masters division.
Biggest error was to #63. I thought I followed a bearing, but got pushed around by crappy briars, didn't check my compass on the trail, went back down the hill a bit, before finally figuring it out and fighting the fight to the right spot. Lost my number en route! Thankfully that was it save a few bobbles. Felt great through three hours, then started to fade a bit, certainly was low energy in the last two hours. Perhaps went out a shade too hard, plus lack of trekking fitness and hill work.
When the woods were clean, they were awesome. When they were green, you were getting scratched.
Great road trip, would do the whole experience again.
Orange line is intended route, but I found myself ahead of schedule so I changed plans for better or worse. Green is my timing targets assuming 2 mph, but Raccoon Creek is more of a 2.5-3 mph park. I should plan better for a range of possible distances, with better pre-set finishing loops depending on pacing later in the course, so I can keep the last hour more lucrative than I did.

Flying pig conflict canceled. One wonders if I can sneak out or not. Hmmm.

ahr:115 max:164 slept:6.0 shoes: Inov8 Roclite 319
Cold and icy. Hard to keep your heart rate up while walking in 17° on flat ground.
Testing some newer equipment. I couldn't find my kitty litter, so I ran the pack with 135 oz of Mountain Dew, and the pouch with 35 oz of Mountain Dew. Water bottles were full, and stayed that way when the tubes froze. Thankfully walking in 17° doesn't use much water.
Also used my new Roclite 319s. Perhaps a touch stiff; we will see. But feet not tenderized by the aggressive sole on hard ground, so +points.

Nine hours of sleep were glorious. Also, if you aren't up before my wife is done with breakfast, dog #2 will lay down next to you as a comfy heat source that compels you to remain sleeping as long as possible.
Might be on the edge for ramping up bike miles, so maybe a canoe and hike before the next ride.
