| Event: 2008 US Rogaining Championships | ||
| Rogaine race 11:15:00 [4]30 km (22:30 / km) | |
| US Rogaine Champs @ Allegany State Park, NY
Awesome venue, awesome course, awesome hash house, awesome accommodations, awesome showers. The meet directors set the standard for all rogaines. We got our maps at 9 AM and we took the full 2 hours to plan and pack. We started only 2 mins after the bell (must be a record). Our plan was to focus on the SW part of the park getting back to the HH at dusk (see bill_l's log for route plan). Other than a poor route choice to the first control, things went pretty much as planned. Our route significantly minimized climb (maybe only a couple of grunts on this loop) but did add some distance. We wanted to conserve for the post HH loop. We got back to the HH within 3 mins of plan (9 PM). Our stop turned into more of an extended stay. Blame the comfort of the bunkhouse and the hospitality of the HH grub crew. Who would want to leave paradise? We left the HH just before 11 PM and headed up hill for our first post HH grunt. After our first control we heard the bell for the 12 hour finishers. We were making good time thanks to a series of controls on a long ridge and the elephant tracks left by previous 'gainers. Then midnight came and so did the pumpkin. | ||

| Early AM departure from STL to SW NY. Made good time and arrived well enough before dark to get a feel for the terrain, stake our claim to bunks (we had the room to ourselves), and nab some ice cream and groceries. | ||

| Road 22:52 [3]3.0 mi (7:37 / mi) | |
| Camdenton Laker Track
Short and sweet. Felt good. May need to take starting blocks to the rogaine. Threw in a few push-ups and sit-ups for good measure. Oh, we caught a ground hog in our live trap this morning. That's number two. Our garden is a happier place. | ||

| Honey Run Trail @ Lake of the Ozarks State Park
Connector down to the north loop then connector back up to the trailhead. Last hurrah before the rogaine. Ran/hiked with 20 lb pack. Warm (not too hot) and very humid. Hydrated well. Felt pretty good (actually felt very good but I don't want to jinx it). Time inlcudes tick pickin', beverage drinkin', brush clearin' (from the recent storms), and face-in-the-creek splashin'. Doesn't include the time walking off the rolled ankle (at 6 miles, no big deal) and giving my daughter directions in KC on my cell phone. | ||
