Orienteering race (Rogaine) 23:00:00 [2]
(sick) shoes: Ecco Receptor 2
Laurentian Rogaine with Bash.
A very interesting and fun rogaine, with gorgeous small Laurentian towns as well as wilderness CPs.
I was feeling terrible before the start, but lots of vitamin P (Pseudoephedrine) not only made me feel better but I think it kept me awake too. Still, we planned a conservative route in case I collapsed in a heap somewhere, and carried lots of warm stuff if I needed a long sleep.
As it happens, we ran more in the first 10 hours than any other rogaine, trying to get as much done in daylight as possible. Bash was very strong, and her nav was excellent. We got much hard stuff, and left easier CPs for dark.
By the night I was still feeling well enough to tow up hills, and didn't sleep at all. It was clear we'd underplanned. We ended up running out of CPs to clean up at the end. The remaining ones were in poor locations, and by the morning Bash's feet were the wost she's ever had, so we had to hobble long ways to get what remained.
We still did OK, considering my illness and Bash's feet, 3rd co-ed I think. 1779/2020 points. If we'd planned to do more from the start, we could have almost cleaned the course. We may have been the top Masters team, but there weren't any age-group categories.
Bender and Billy blew the race apart, finishing everything with many hours to spare! SRS was first co-ed and also cleaned the course.
It was great to do one with Bash again, and we make a good team.

Strength 1:00:00 [2]
Workout # 3- A bit lethargic as I may have Bash's cold just in time for the Rogaine this weekend.
Running (commute) 30:00 [1]
shoes: Ecco Receptor
A jog-hike to work with T-dog. I thought it would just be a stroll, but T-dog had me jogging along a fair bit to keep up with her. Senior dog my foot!
Running 32:00 [1]
shoes: Ecco Receptor
Trot home in the dark with T-dog. Once again, not the gentle walk I was expecting.
I've definitely got Bash's cold. We should be a great team at the Rogaine- Napping at the Hash House versus our usual stay-out-all-night is sounding better and better.

Running 1:40:00 [2]
shoes: Ecco Receptor 2
We ran the Mizzy lake trail down to the road. Treacherous footing in pouring rain, so we ran the road back.
