Event: RHINO 5
Event: Dover Raid Adventure Race
11 AM
Rogaine race (Dover Raid) 5:25:00 [4] 38.38 km (8:28 / km) +490m 7:58 / km
40c weight:77.1kg shoes: 285 Roclite C
Teamed up with Ernst Linder as UNO-DUO
Really only a 5:30 event as there was a 30 minute bus ride to remote start so we actually started at 11:32. Raining & 40ish thought the rain let up to just cold and damp by the end.
Cleaned the first map in a ccw fashion, moved to the nw map (overview map)
Cleaned the overview map segment, then on to the downtown map taking the northern section in a cw fashion. Brain fart led to missing #47 around 2pm. Took a lousy route from 45-46 and wound up ensnared in crappy, thorny vegetation and probably 15 minutes to get there. Double ouch... Clockwise along bottom of map.
Out on the southeast map as it was getting dim. Lost a little time trying to circumvent fence near highway and get over the cloverleaf. Out on the trail as far as 29, let 22 go as time was getting lean. Likewise cut #33 on account of time as well.
Back on the downtown map, dropped #39 on time, hit #35, #54 and had 7 minutes left on the clock at that point so just made a beeline back leaving out #41 which was close, but didn't want to risk a watch discrepancy and be overtime and start bleeding points.
So 57 points out of a total 62, Joe & Jeff cleaned the course, Ian & Ben plus Untamed New England both skipped #23. Not sure if anyone else was between us and the top three, but lots of strong teams so likely we wound up 5th or 6th.
Had a lot of fun, hamstrings pretty argumentative during the last hour or so. Thanks to Jeff & Joe for driving, nice to just chill in the back seat on the ride home..
distance from gmaps, climb from bgallup (our missed controls did not have any climb factor)
GMaps Pedometer Route - http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5756931 - for some reason I can't get the gpx file to load to AP at the moment. Too late to screw with it...
Ben's FrankenMap - a large 5Mb composite of the 4 different maps we were using (and 4 different map scales as well.)
