Dan and Chris traveled to Willow Springs, Illinois on 4/19 to compete in the WOW (World Orienteering-Wilmette) Palos 12-hour Rogaine.

 The race was held at the Palos Forest Preserve just outside of Chicago.  The area is beautiful and was a great venue for a grueling 12 hour rogaine.  The event was a score-orienteering rogaine where controls were worth 1-6 points depending upon difficulty.  Chris and Dan hit 29 controls for 105 points in 11hrs and 15 minutes, snagging first place in the 12-hour division. The second place team in the 12-hour division had 87 points in 11hrs 45 minutes.  In getting those 29 controls Team MAAR covered 30+ miles on foot.  Navigation was dead on for most points.  There was alot of running between points.  Overall a great PQ training day.
