Event: 2017 Corn Maze Champs
12 PM
O - competition race (Regaine) 5:03:38 [3] 23.76 km (12:47 / km) +515m 11:32 / km
ahr:126 max:164
CNYO rogaine at Bowman Lake and Pharsalia NY. Broken up in 6 hour segments, each involving running and some required rest. Started with a 5 hour run segment to the NW. Woods mix of light green and some thicker briars not indicated on the map unless it was really nasty. Went well until I spent an hour thrashing thru briars looking for 66 on the corner of a stone wall. Covered 3 km and came across many stone walls, almost none on the map. Appears I may have turned back about 100m short of the relevant wall. Still overtime by 2 min, resulting in a 6 min penalty on the next run.
6 PM
O - competition race 4:03:22 [3] 16.1 km (15:07 / km) +310m 13:47 / km
Rested for an hour with something to eat. Then out for an evening 4 hour segment. Off to the S this time. Picked up the controls I had targeted, including a 2 km bushwack along a marsh in the dark with some thick sections. Started raining just as I came in.
Got strafed by an owl twice running out to a control, and again coming back on the same trail. Totally silent, but could feel the downdraft of its wings as he swooped just over my head.
