| South Sugarloaf, 450' climb. Up the trail (7:42), down the trail (4:11), up the trail (7:41), down the road (7:04). Just as it got dark, made a little more interesting by an approaching lightning storm. Got windy on the second time up, but the rain held off until just as I was done, and the lightning was still a couple miles away.

| Relay Champs at Mendon Ponds, third leg for CSU 4-point team, Brendan, Alex Jospe, me, and Ross. Awful slow, but no errors to speak of, so ok I suppose. Team finished second, about 10 minutes behind DVOA, about what I would have expected, actually maybe a little better than expected as we all ran pretty well, especially Alex. But DVOA had 4 U.S. Team members so they should have won. Team from West Point was third, just behind us, pretty cool. Overall, field was lacking in depth, at least as far as official 4 point teams.
My routes: first loop, second loop.
Real nice weekend, great of Rochester to step up and organize both championships, done well and with panache.

| One last round of rogaine practice with Gord and Lise before heading home, at Victor Hills, nice terrain, interesting topography, similar in places to the O' terrain of the morning, moderately hilly. When I told the guy at the pro shop that I wanted to walk (not get a cart), he asked me about three times if i was sure, it was a hilly course, etc. etc. Did I look that feeble?
Got around pretty quickly, once again taking an unorthodox route choice to avoid some traffic. Hustling a bit to keep up with the other two in a cart, getting a little tired towards the end, but still lots of fun, though it meant not getting home until a little before midnight.
It actually is good rogaine practice, just being on your feet for a few hours and carrying a bag. Too bad it doesn't do shit for orienteering conditioning. |
