Event: 12th World Rogaining Championships
 

South Dakota Rogaine, daytime loop. Didn't lose too much time on the few controls that we didn't spike. Got 2 controls in the dark, with much discussion of how to attack. Returned to hash house after 10.5 hours, with about 20 controls, though in the dense/easier area of the map. Very happy on how things were going so far. Felt a bit low on calories and decided to take advantage of the hot food. Drank half a coke and some potato soup. Nothing else seemed appetizing. Normally this seemed like a safe choice for my stomach, but not his time. As we start to leave, I have to make a stop at the trash bin to puke up all the liquids I just consumed. Knowing my race was now completely changed, we get on the road soon after and start planning some very conservative loops to finish the race out.

Higher intensity run on W&OD gravel, felt good. Wandered into woods to test off-trail stability on some deer trails. Seemed to work fine. Will use in South Dakota.

Trails at Lake Fairfax in light rain. Nice cushion and fit. Will use in South Dakota.
