| MNOC--ROGAINE |
| Orienteering (Rogaine) 5:50:00 [3]*** 20 km (17:30 / km) | |
| spiked:12/18c shoes: Vasque Spur |
| Rogaine on a beautiful course set by Mike and Julia. Had a lot of problems in the first 1.5 hours, including choice of control order. After that it slowly got better and the last 4 hours I was navigating really well. My teammate was a great sport, even when I was struggling with navigation. Not so happy with the result, but extremely happy with the last 2/3 of the race. |

| Hiking 30:00 [2]1.5 mi (20:00 / mi) | |

| Hiking at Fish Hatchery with Molly, Jasper and Rena aftter a long nap in the van for 3/4 of the Johnston camping troop. As with other hikes during the week, I carried Jasper for the entire distance. |

| Went swwimming in the Amnicon River at Amnicon Falls State Park. Swam under a waterfall for the first time ever. Very cool. Any reports by Jasper that he "went over a waterfall" are exaggerated. We slid down some rocks with water and moss in them into a large pool of water. |
Thursday Aug 16 |
| Hiking 25:00 [1]0.5 km (50:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Vasque Spur |
| Went rivereering on the Black River at Pattison State Park with Jasper while Molly and Rena walked along the shore. We worked our way up about stepping from rock to rock. It was an absolute blast. Loggable not so much for strenuous effort, but I have to believe the balance work had some core value. |
Wednesday Aug 15 |
| Hiking 2:00:00 [2]4.0 mi (30:00 / mi) | |
| |
| Hiking at Pattison State Park near Superior. Followed the trail to the Little Falls. Had lunch and hiked back. Very worthwhile and it would be a fun trail to run. Never got the chance while we were there. Apparantly camping really isn't that relaxing when you go with two kids under 5. This gets a 2 intensity because Jasper decided he wanted to be carried nearly the whole way--except when he wanted to run--a theme that carried the entire week. |
Sunday Aug 12 |
| Orienteering 2:21:00 [2]*** 10 km (14:06 / km) +300m 12:16 / km | |
| spiked:9/11c shoes: Vasque Spur |
| 1:24k USGS of Afton and a shakedown with Roagaine partner. Very cool. Marked 12 controls on the map, but plan changed immediately when we got to the park before the gates opened. Started right from the park office. North end including both sides of the ridgeline. One bigger mistake, and a couple small bobbles. Feel pretty good about the day. Ready to go for next weekend. |
