ICO Rogaine 2009
What a great day for a Rogaine!
The morning was cool and crisp, but it turned out to be a great day in the low 50's. After about 3 hours I had some knee issues, but thank you to Cristal for that great Tylenol helper...
It's a wonder she had any left to offer given the major gouge she created in her knee during that fight she had with the fallen log. I'd have to say she lost, given the blood loss... Go Cristal!! What a fighter!
Cherry Lake was the start/stop... thanks to Indiana Crossroads Orienteering for a great event and Rootstocker Jerry for a great course design!!
