Training Log Archive: Work4justice

Still pretty tired, so, rode out to ILRA with mah kid to Spring Mill Pond for a swim, then we biked into the Badlands, ran up and down #4 (Mr Wonderful's Sampler #1) while mah kid slurped on a root beer, then back home, all via dirt. I think I will be spending more time on those hills and two track. Nice day. Got some funny looks with a boogie board strapped to my pack.

Event: Wilderness Traverse
 

Rode from CP3 to CP2 to set up. Had about a 20lb pack with chair and provisions for the 7 hour vigil. Still can't believe this 30 hour race had 8 CPs!!!

Near our CP was a little two track that I rode down to the river and back. Beautiful shield rock, pine forest floor (even sounded hollow) and rock gardens. Had the biggest smile after that!

What Jens said. :)

Great trek around Highland checking out potential control sites. Jens did the orienteering, I just tagged along. He may not print me a map next time. I am definitely a back seat orienteer in that situation! What about this? What was that? What about over here? There? Then he let me be the AD of the meet and I shut up. :)

Very cool process. Kind of wondered how an area got vetted, and I can see why purple penning without some degree of vetting could be a disaster! Feeling more confident with my recognition of land features and expect over the winter that will enhance, at least I hope so.
