So these roman mud trundle obstacle things are way overpriced. They pique my curiosity, but they sure as hell don't pique $90 worth of curiosity. For $40, though, I think I would try it once. Well, whaddayaknow? If any CSU/NEOCers are willing to similarly debase themselves, I'll have seats available next next weekend. Just bring a change of clothes, a'ight? Maybe a few wet-naps?
Note
quick and dirty map of the available GPS tracks from the rogaine, by way of the increasingly awesome GPS Visualizer. Might try to add the CPs to it. Pick OpenCycleMap Topo from the upper-right dropdown, it's surprisingly o-map-like

per bill pullman's suggestion, i tried some throwing some 800m intervals into my fresh pond loop. didn't really decide to until i was already on the road, so i thought i'd try 10min of ~8:30/mi, then 0.5mi of 'comfortably hard', then 0.5mi back near 8:30. The fasts were faster than they should've been, and the slows slower, but it was fun. brief foray into the pain cave at the end of each fast bit - kind of just looking into the entrance. probably another first since high school. having a bit of a.... runaissance here. yup, went there.
