Running (4hr rogaine) 3:55:00 [2] * 37.0 km (6:21 / km)
shoes: Nike Free Run
Oscar ruined my plans for a nice relaxing rogaine eating ice cream and watching the kids playing in playgrounds by asking me to fill in for the sick fenry.
Started off to the East just aiming to get every control until we knew it wasn't possible. Heart was a bit unhappy for the second half hour but was ok if I kept it slow and Oscar was happy to back off given how long we still had to go. Picked up every control in the East apart from failing to spot the right words in the sign at 3 and at 50 the muffin break ads had been replace with an "Advertise here" sign so we wasted a lot of time there before giving up and buying a gatorade instead. After this we decided to drop 14, 34 and 28 before crossing the bridge so that we would have time to pick up the high point controls around the perimeter of the west side.
West side went pretty much to plan leaving out 13, 29, 60, 32, 6, 43 and 11. Probably had time to get one or two of those near the end but neither of us wanted to at that stage. Ran most of the way with just a few short walk breaks, mostly on the west side.
Won by about 200 points but I thought we should have had about 600 points more than that so I guess we must have got a few answers wrong but I can't think where, I thought they were all pretty clear.
