Well, this is not quite typical terrain but it is there. At a recent JROTC event Mathew Benjamin of JW Mitchell HS recorded
his route with a GoPro. This competition was at Alafia River State Park, southeast of Tampa. The open fields are a clear indication that the area was once ranch land. The linear ponds are a clear indication that phosphates were once extracted from the land.
It is what we 'navigators' call a runners' course and Matt crossed the 5.5 k in less than 40 minutes. Only two were faster. The full competition results and Livelox tracks can be perused at the Results tab of
