Rogain Race 2008 - Gatineau, Quebec

We grunted, we groaned. We ran down trails, climbed up steep hills. We trudged through swamps, we braved the hawthorn and stinging nettle. We stood atop cliffs to look down at hills ablaze with fall colours. We did all this during an 8 hour Rogaine race.

Rogaining is a type of orienteering where you try to find as many control points as you can in a specified amount of time. The most we could get that day were 46 - we found 21. Not bad for our first attempt. We adventured through the Gatineau hills with close friends. We are now hooked and look forward to doing it again!
