 | Orienteering 3:00:00 [2]**** | |
| ahr:133 max:170 |
| Picking up controls in Burnt Mtn with K and L. Took it fairly easy, especially after Loki took Kristoffer out while scrambling through a fallen tree and K turned his ankle...dog's gotta learn to slow down sometimes...
So, it took 3 days to set out these controls (had to go back to some to put out night-o controls, but we'll count that time anyway). Took Kristoffer 2 hours to run the whole course. Took EMS 3hr 50 (after racing for 10hrs). Took 2nd place team 6 hours (with an hour or two in the dark.) And it took us 3 hours to jog it while picking up the controls. Not too bad.
Legs felt pretty decent, glad i took the past few days off. |

| (rest day) |
| Got back to the house around 10...turned on the tour (we had the previous stage recorded) and immediately fell asleep. Woke up at 2, ate some toast, back to tsleep, woke up at 7, made dinner, watched the Illusionist, went to bed at 10:45.
And it was a perfect day for this "activity" since it was pouring buckets outside. |

| The rest of Saturday was spent waiting for teams to arrive on bikes and head into the orienteering section. Kristoffer had pre-run the entire course (20controls) in 2hr5mins, estimating about 9miles. EMS showed up around 5, right on schedule and headed into teh woods. half hour later, Summit Achievement arrived and headed out. Next team in was Strongbadia, then Wicked Pissah. The only teams to get all cps was EMS and Summit, in 3hr50min (finishing with minimal daylight left,, which aided them immensly in the thick forests!!) and 6 hr something, respectively. I imagine that Summit slowed down quite a bit when darkness hit. Strongbadia got 13cps and Wicked got 12. the rest of teh teams went for the easy controls that were mostly on 1 side of the map.
now to pick up controls...that will be Monday. |
Friday Jul 18 |
| Mtn Biking 1:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| K and I went to Oak Hill to pre-ride teh xterra course. 1 loop is about 9km i think, and the race will do it twice. (Nice having a course so close to home that we can do this!) Not marked very well at all, so we spent a lot of time backtracking to the correct trail(s) so we could ride the correct course. Still think we messed up a bit. But it was a good muddy ride. Then a quick dip in the pond, then raced over to the RA 24 headquarters to begin that whole adventure. |
