Get Stoked Rogaine. First part of my first 24 hour rogaine with my mom! Navigationally we were pretty good, but our speed was kind of slow because first off, some of the hills were huge (like, 1,000 feet in 750 meters), but we ran more than we did on the 8-hour rogaine we did a month ago. Well, that might be because after climbing up that aforementioned hill about three hours in, it was essentially downhill from there (for the most part) for the next 8.5 km (we didn't run that whole thing, because there were other controls during that, and we were already tired), so we could run for a good distance. Other than that, we didn't get as far as we wanted to before dark, so we were stuck in a pretty nasty area at dark where there was a trail mapped (along a stream thankfully), but in reality there was nothing but the stream and on and off nasty vegetation. But eventually we made it to the road (I was desperate for that by then) and made our way back to the camp to get some food and sleep.
