Rogaine race 8:32:00 [3] 35.75 km (14:19 / km) +900m 12:43 / km
The Battle for Bartagunyah - Roving 12hr
12:00 PM. Melrose. Burned 2219 calories.
My first roving 12 hour and first 12 hour with Fern. I was really quite worried about this Rogaine since there was a Tornado (yes Tornado) warning out and the weather was looking very dicy. We started anyway and made pretty good time. The hills were steep and the sheep plentiful and increasing in numbers as we went around the course (it is lambing season and there quite a few sheep giving birth or just given birth). The navigation was reasonably easy and th terrain easy to read for the majority until dark. 91 was quite a spectacular view except then we decended into the gully to the south (which Fern had visted on a previous rogaine) this gully was memorable to Fern because it was so CRAP. Pity she didn't remember that until we were in it :P Night fell with about a third of our loop to go ~24 km mark and navigation was goign to become hard. Luckily we kept it together and didn't struggle too much with finding the controls. We decided to drop one control on this plan as we were behind our planned time and feeling pretty tired. So we got back to the HH at 20:32 and had a good nights rest (amongst the wind and the rain) until the second loop!
