Rogaine race 5:50:00 [4] *** 38.5 km (9:05 / km)
spiked:22/23c
Badger Rogaine at Black River Falls, WI.
Maricel and I teamed up again for this event. I swore after the snowgaine I would be in better shape. Well I was, but still no match for Maricel. I hung good for the first 2 hours, the next 2 I trailed him and the last 2 hours was a stuggle. I told him if he wants to win a race get someone 20 years younger than me. Great weather and pretty good teraine. Not sure of the results, but we did not have time to measure our route, so we planned a sweep and it was not close to happening. We went way out on a road run to pick up a control No 30. It was like 2 miles to get that one. During it I realized that this was a mistake. Near the end, even Maricel was hurting a bit. There these ski trails that were not on the map and messed me up and I talked him into changing our route. That cost us going for a 1k control at the end. Too tired and sore to help pick any controls. Of course it was not like CAOC snowgaine, we had food and drink after. Great time and thanks to Kevin for putting on this rogaine singlehanded.
