The cache is located on a conditioning course formerly owned by
Lucent Technologies.
The posted coordinates will bring you to an exercise station.
Stand next to the apparatus and read the sign to get the
information you need to project your waypoint.
If you don't know what the terminology means read further in the
description then come back here to solve.
Bearing = (7.6 x the number of repetitions to be completed by a
stage 2 Athlete) degrees.
Distance = (138 x the station number) feet.

A compass has 360 degrees.
True North is always 0 degrees
Heading is the way your nose is pointing or the way you are
moving
Bearing is the direction in degrees from true north where you want
to go.
1 mile = 5280 feet.
S/G stands for Sight-n-Go (Garminesque terminology)
Example - if you are walking due east, your heading is 90
degrees
Example - if the point you want to go to is due south from where
you are standing the bearing is 180 degrees
So if you are standing in a spot and you know what the bearing
is in degrees from Zero (true North) and how far to walk (in this
case it is measured in feet) that is a projected waypoint.
