Orienteer race (SD Rogaine) 11:35:43 [3] 28.21 mi (24:40 / mi) +1476m 21:13 / mi
shoes: Icebug Spirit-L olx
with Soupbone.
We messed up a bit on second control, then did some nice orienteering through the remainder of the day. Until night. Then things fell apart; hard to work on the 30000:1 map, even thought we planned well and had controls in open areas. We passed by small "roads" that were supposed to lead us to APs, just went in wrong directions at times.. picked up no controls after dark. We made up for bad orienteering with fun jogging/walking (nice to be out of the NUMEROUS fell areas), and lots of talking and maybe.. that also had something to do with some of the misses. Every team seemed to have trouble with Night Orienteering. We had lots of fun but I think we were both sorely disappointed to have a ZERO for any night controls.
I have decided to bequeath all of my hatred for hills to Night Orienteering. Why would you orienteer without light. What's next, Oxygen-less orienteering? Good part is I now love hills. .
Charlie was a good partner for me; we both like to run the trails, we back each other up will on the map, I think we did a better job together than we would have apart (Know that's true for me at least). And definitely more fun; I'm not sure I could do a 12 hour event alone.
Not sure how we placed yet, but most of the teams did the 24 hour event (and at least half of those slept for a good bit of the night).
Ian and Andrei did great.... saw them at midnight and was a bit worried. I've never seen Ian look beat up before but he did a bit. It was brutal. Strangely, at 11:30 this morning, he came in with a BIG smile and looking full of energy. More like the Ian we know, but how does he do that?
And of course Andrei was a smiles and jokey and other than a 1 gallon blister on his ankle and numerous other bodily scars he looked great and fresh-ish too! Whoa.
GPS track ran out of juice before we did, so shows us not at the finish yet.

Run (Trail - Battle Creek) 1:10:00 [3] 6.0 mi (11:40 / mi)
shoes: Asics2
Six of us showed up. Lots of talking.
About this group. Although they are part of Upper Midwest Trail Runners, they are also part of sisuskiers... competing, coaching, etc.
So I suppose it's inevitable that they have talked me into a ski makeover.
I'll be signing up for the beginners program in October.... and apparently I am also going to be getting some new equipment. =/
