Orienteering race (Rogaine) 9:00:00 [3]
shoes: Brooks CP Green
Laurentian NA Champs cont'd.
We got behind our ambitious sched. a bit on our first loop. I was a bit dozy and 3Pin had bad feet, so we headed into the hash house at 3:30AM for some foot repair and a double espresso for me. My feet were fine, but I had some chafing issues. Some poor strategy here- we didn't have time or speed left to hit a high value loop NW of the HH, so we had a long slow hike to the next area and not tons of time left. In hindsight we should have dropped some slow lower value stuff earlier in the night. 35 and 56 dropped would have given us time to get over 200 more.
We only picked up another 320 points after 4AM, but were happy enough with that. We got about 1560 points. I think that was more than the top male elite team, but the winners and 2nd were both in our Male Masters category with over 1900.
Bash and LeAnimal crushed their Female category, for Bash's 3rd NorAm win! Poor Bash had even worse feet than 3Pin, and worse chafing than me. A lot of hobbing going on at the awards from almost everyone due to the soggy conditions. I think I got away OK thanks to Barierre silicone and luck.

Event: Laurentian Rogaine
Orienteering race 14:00:00 [4]
shoes: Brooks CP Green
Laurentian North American Rogaine Champs with 3Pin.
Pouring rain at the start, and pretty much all day, but warm.
We started out strong, with a plan to use our distance running to offset our weaker navigation, so we took longer routes by roads and trails where possible rather than tricky nav. We headed down to the SE corner first. Well over 100pts/hr for the first 6hrs or so, but by 10hrs 3Pin had some foot issues so we didn't run much after that. A lot slower at night, but hit all the CPs OK. One 25 minute error bushwhacking around a wrong lake- d'oh!

Nice easy spin on the Hot August Nights course with Bash and LeAnimal.
The dust is down a lot, but the roots are a bit slippery. Some new trail sections!

shoes: Ecco Receptor - 07
Easy jog in with Bulletdog.
Running (Commute) 41:00 [1]
shoes: Ecco Receptor - 07
Even easier jog-hike back with T-dog. To be fair, Pooch Sr. did more jog than hike here. She's still got it, now that it's cooler out.
