MNOC 6 hr rogaine at Jay Cooke State Park. Warm and humid. Jerritt was my partner for 2008. Good strong start . At 2 1/2 hrs+ we had progressed to the far SE of the park and had amassed 10 pts out of the 22.(#11,12,13,16,15,14,7,8,9,10). Hard work off trails with fairly thick (but short) undergrowth and rough footing. Long trail slog with cramping back from SE to #19 and swinging bridge and water plus N side of park (#2,1,3) and we called it quits with 28 mins to go.

US Champs Day 2: Remarkable Flats map :
Very open area with lots of rock features and open grasslands between. Took off fast and confident .... reading terrain well ... #2 overshot by about 100m on left .leaving#3 got sucked downhill and off course (2 mins error) (but got a sight of #6 and #5 control locations from the "wrong side" which set me up for very fast legs for #5 and #6) . High speed running and nailed 7 , 8,9 , 10 ,slight miss on 11 (flag on similar hill 80 m away), Tricky finish 14 - 17 with large number (~10) of controls in small area in full view of spectators and very large boulders hiding view of controls. 9th in M50+ class for the day and 6th for the M50+ US championships

Walk around on "Plains of Despair" map after US Champs Day 2 dodging thunderstorms (stayed off the ridges !). Found 5 of the training tapes then ran back to car when starting raining real hard.
Drove to Nebraska through numerous thunderstorms with nasty lightning zapping to either side of I-80
