Note
A quick measure of our route looks like about 65 km covered. Which means we averaged over 3km/hr. I'm guessing we only rested a total of 75-90 minutes broken up into lots of 10-15 minute breaks. Valerie should have more detailed info from her gps tracker.
More precise data: 36.5 miles, total of 1:50 for breaks (I forgot about the stream crossing where we took our shoes and socks off to get across and then sat for a bit).

Note
Awards for the rogaine were fresh baked pies. Valerie had left by the time they did awards so I was told I could take two but I only took one, a very tasty peach pie. At the rate I'm going through it, I should have taken that second one!

rogaine race 6:30:00 [3]
Walked through the night taking only short 10-15 minute breaks now and and again but called it quits at about 4:30am. We walked in picking up one more control on the way and got in around 6:30. (I had it wrong originally.)
Excellent time. Almost stepped on one giant rattlesnake and one smaller one. The giant one rattled at us after Valerie took its picture. Scared me - don't think I've ever heard a rattlesnake rattle. Not sure who moved faster - me up the trail or the snake into the woods.
Decided to spend most of the time on the part of the map that covered the orienteering maps which you could take with you. Made it much nicer to know where all the trails were since the USGS we got was not updated much at all. The net result was that we spent a huge percentage of our time on trails and dirt roads and very little time in the woods. Only made 3 errors, two of which were 5 minutes each (edit: Valerie's GPS says 8 and 15 mins) the other a little longer but got all the controls we tried.
Right hip pretty sore this evening but everything else is fine.
Our route was pretty uninspired but I may try to scan the map tomorrow.

Note
Went jet-skiing in the bays around Bermuda in the morning. Tough on the back and knees when we opened it up, but it was fun.
