Event: 2011 Dakota Rogaining Championships
 

24 hour race in Custer St Pk. Ran with Glen and Charlie. Some concern about a team of 3, as there's more chance for things to get screwed up and generally slow you down. But the team worked really well and was fun. Good collaboration on route planning and troubleshooting.

Some issues with the map, as shown dirt roads from years back no longer existed in any form, and other fine gravel roads appeared where not expected nor mapped. So frustratration in the middle of the night and time lost. Slow travel in some areas. But we ended with a 380 point blitz Sunday morning and a 15 k run in.
Took vet and superset with about 2050 points, but 100 points short of open class, and we both got chicked by two Canadian girls who got a hundred more than that.
Also won a Mtn Hardware down parka in the raffle.

Started with Ruthie and Casey for a slow warmup, then off around town.

Morning run with Ruthie part way, and then down into the village on my own. Dry and cool, with mist burning off.

Cutting down Japanese knotweed behind Ruthies preschool all afternoon. What a mess. Fortunately the (other) VCS is across the street, so when we were done I did the snack tour and we had ice cream.

Two laps around the TF trail, with a break in between for blackberries.
