Discussion: On the Van at the Pig

Who else is on the van trip with you? How did everyone else do? What was the map and woods like...better than Hueston Woods? Good luck running against Glen today!

I used to live in Cincinnati. Loved the mix of north and south cultures. And spent a lot of time canoeing and hiking in Kentucky. Are you going to find a Buffalo Wild Wings and play group Jeopardy again?

that was close, really close. go get em!

The usual, rich, Lenny, kb, plus some newbies, who are having a blast. I lost 4 min. To Tryson, I made 3 mistakes on the course. We had 17 people at dinner tonight and it was a blast.

That doesn't appear to be a very nice area...too much green and too many trails; hardly worth driving from Wisconsin to run. Looks like all those pits hidden in the green were your problem. And perhaps a 1:7500 map scale? Were you over-running controls? #10 + #12 (both pits) you lost 6 minutes to Tryson. Too bad.

Still it was a fast run for the most part...you beat Jim Gordon and all the women on Green by a healthy margin. Nice going. Tell Rich to pick it up...Neuberger beat him by 10 minutes, and Rich is a better navigator.

Good luck today. It is raining here, and I'm off on the el to the Oak Park 5k.

Map scale switched to 1:5000 - clearly announced at Start line. It was weird doing a Middle on 1:5000. It was much easier reading the detail but things sure came up fast. With fewer extraneous deer trails (but lots of elephant tracks for late starters), trails were more reliable Saturday.

I feel the areas were good orienteering terrain. The 1:5000 scale was nice, but like Rick said things came up quick.
Yes the pit on 10 and the control on 12 and 14 were bad for me as I lost a ton of time on them. I did make it up on Sunday :-)
