Midway through the training camp in Colorado Springs for the Greco-Roman World Team, the team headed for some cross training in an out of the way location.  After three tough days on the mats at the Olympic Training Center the Greco squad traveled to the Castle Mountain Recreation Resort at Wellington Lake deep in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.  The wrestlers were enticed to the spot for some outdoor barbecue fun and the intra-squad competition of the Rogaine Challenge.      Rogaine stands for Rugged Outdoor Group Activity Involving Navigation & Endurance.  And the rules for the competition are serious business.  Throughout the wilderness twenty-five control points were secretly set and then marked on a map.  Each control point was assigned a point value depending on the difficulty it would take to find.      The groups were divided in two man teams and given a whistle, a compass, and a topographical map of the region.  As the food was consumed the teams began to plot their strategy to determine which targets they would seek out.  Each control point had a code word written on it.  Once the code was gained, then the team would move on to the next target.      Each group had to work together to navigate the difficult terrain and discover as many points as possible.  The Rogaine had a five-hour time limit, so any group that failed to come back within the five hours would be disqualified.  Although there were a few small prizes for the winners, the Rogaine Challenge was really a matter of pride and toughness for the teams competing.      As the groups ventured off with storm clouds beginning to roll over the high mountain peaks.  Head Greco-Roman National Team Coach Steve Fraser reiterated a few of the most important rules.  Safety First.  No Swimming.  Stay Together.  Bottom three place winners do the dishes.  Be aware of wild animals---this is bear and mountain lion country.      With the sound of the whistle, each group began their pursuit for the most points to win the Rogaine.  Coach Fraser, 1984 Olympic Gold Medallist, participated in several Rogaine's in his life after wrestling competition.  Some Rogaines last as much as 24 hours.  "It can be a real physical challenge for these guys.  The territory is very rugged and difficult to move through.  It can be pretty frustrating when you can't find a control point."      About two hours into the challenge, the rains started and were backed up by a chorus of lightning and thunder.  Many of the wrestlers returned early disappointed with their point totals and the torrential cold mountain rain.  Others battled on through the elements and pushed their point totals over a 1,000.     According to Fraser, "If you got to all the targets successfully and returned to base the distance covered would be easily over 20 miles."      The rains kept coming down hard, and the teams began to trickle in.  One of the first teams returning was the Army heavyweight duo of Dremiel Byers and Paul Devlin.  Head WCAP Coach Shon Lewis wasn't sure to compliment them or criticize them from coming in out of the rain early.  Ironically, the Greco heavyweights didn't finish in the cellar for points.      Certainly the most frustrated team arriving in from the storm came from the land of 10,000 lakes.  Brandon Paulson, 1996 Olympic Silver Medallist and Garrett Lowney, 2000 Bronze Medallist were more than a bit disgusted with Coach Fraser and their Rogaine misadventure.      "There is no three and four out there," shouted Paulson as they approached the campsite.  Paulson and Lowney spent the next hour shaking off the cold as the other teams continued to come in and verify their points.      In the end, last year's championship team of 2000 Olympian Jim Gruenwald and USOC Resident Ethan Bosch were unseated-not by points but by time.  Bosch and Gruenwald made a tactical error and went after one more target and came in 10 minutes past the deadline.  The two had collected 3,200 points of 4,500 total, nearly doubling their closest competitors.      Mike Ellsworth and Daryl Christiansen, USOC Residents, finished in third.  The prize for second place went to the neighbors from north in town for the training camp.  Canadian wrestlers, Scott Sealy and Victor Springer grabbed up the runner-up spot.  The World Class Athlete Program took home the championship honors when Isaac Wood and Jason Kutz of the Army team came in with the most points.      Rule 24 of the Rogaine was Have Fun, Hustle Hard, and Be Safe most of all.  The Greco team had fun prior to the start of the Rogaine.  The groups definitely displayed their hustle to score the win.  After dodging the elements and the lightning bolts all the teams came in safely.  With the Rogaine behind them, the wrestlers returned to the Olympic Training Center appreciating just a bit more the warmth of the humid and muggy wrestling room.
