Training Log Archive: ShotRat

Set out a bit later than planned due to the later finish last night. Chopped the plan up a bit as we went, but our nav was excellent and the legs held out for the loop and we got back with a comfortable margin.

First two were in the dark.

(Straight line = 19.2km, actual route = 23.2km)

Event: WARA Winter 24hr Rogaine
 

Over the Watershed Rogaine (Chadoora Mill)

Planned a loop of 33km for the afternoon, aiming for somewhere between 9 & 10pm. No real issues up until dusk when we had to search along a spur a bit for a 100 pointer. We'd picked the right spur, but couldn't see the control. Used up most of the last light but we did find it. Okay through the next couple of hours until we circled a 90 pointer but couldn't find it. Bugged out around a long track route and got everything else on the route. A couple more bobbles along the way, but at least we only missed one we went for. Back at 11pm, pretty tired but feeling like we'd done okay.

(Striaght line planned = 33km, actual route =42.1km)

Score: 2230
Place: 14th

Less wet, less cold. Still bloody dark.

Bit wet & cold.
