Note
Looking back to the Highlanders I've done (which unfortunately didn't start until I was 51), I think I missed 4 of them, injured in one way or another --
1995, 4:06:23, 6th
1996, 3:36:02, 2nd
1997, 4:14:26, 7th
1998, 4:03:48, 5th
1999, 4:49:15, ?
2000, 3:59:54, 10th
2003, 5:22:31, 16th
2006, 4:00:30, 14th
2007, 4:32:17, ?
2008, 4:27:17, 13th
2010, 5:37:02, 43rd
So this year was the longest I've even spent on an O' course (rogaines not included, you have a partner). Not really an accomplishment to be proud of. Though looking back, I'm surprised to see my time in 2003, almost as bad, but I think the course was a good bit harder. My placing this time was the worst by far.
And all this reminds me of a long O' race I ran in 1983, longer than the Highlander, definitely more climb, definitely more map changes. I would doubt that anyone else on AP has heard of it -- it was a one-time deal -- let alone was there (except for Gail). But it is now only third place as far as the longest I've been out on an O' course, just under 5 hours.
65 controls.
I'll see if I can dig out the maps.
