Old Man Emu Rogaine was a bit complicated in that it’s meant to be the April 12 hour but there was a problem getting permission to camp from Water Corporation so it was cut down to a non-camping 6 hour event running from 11am - 5pm.
I drove down with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ascetic_hedony, nm2 and maharetr - we discovered most CDs in the car are way too old and scratched but some of the Phantom of the Opera was working. We provided our own concert on the way home. Was very glad we took Lambert, it was rocky and rutted where it wasn’t soft sand and a smaller car might have had trouble.
The event was set in bushland so we had intermittent shade for which I am grateful.nm2 and I planned a 21km route of which we did 20km and skipped the last two controls we planned to pick up (was stupidly hot by 3pm and we were feeling it. Runkeeper does a cool little map and shows you your elevation - that last hill between 14.5 and 16.5km did for us in the heat and I’m glad we skipped the last hill we had planned. I judge Runkeeper a little for having a km or miles setting but still showing the header in miles.
I have a magnificent blister on my left heel - alas! We collected a couple of controls after the event ended to spare the setting and vetting team so we technically got in our night navigation too \o/
