A very good video, about 20 minutes. 100 miles in Tennessee, all off trail using map and compass. Fun to watch!

Off-road, definitely, but not off-trail...

The low finish rate seems to be mostly due to the time limits set for each stage.  I'd really hate to have someone sitting at control 7 telling me that I was too slow and had to quit, but I see the safey reasons for doing it in this race.
