Hard Rock O Training Event. Moderate snow and cold conditions was both a blessing and curse. The hills were difficult to descend but the swamps were all frozen. Easy run through the woods breaking trail most of the way. The navigation was not tough but long, typical of an adventure run. Traveled cross country generally off the beaten path. The area was well known as I set an event there once. My knees and back were taking a beating from jumping creeks. Felt good for run along the road back to the car. Slick conditions in the woods were tough on the feet.
