Event: Sheltowee Extreme 12 hr AR
 

This is the most difficult AR race I have been doing each year. The check points are spread so far apart. Ended up with 11 this year compared to 7 last year. I actually teamed up with Carl this year - even though we are each listed as solo. It really helped my confidence on the bike to be with a team mate. We had a sound plan to grab 14 points but the front Derailleur on my bike flaked out after the 6th point. Carl helped me with it and we were able to get the bike to work in only 3 gears, so it was a slow limp back to the TA. The bike melt down screwed up our NAV big time and we wasted a lot of time on CP 18 also got ourselves dehydrated in the process. We refueled back at the TA and went out on a paddle leg grabbing 3 more check points plus 2 bonus CP's. Great time so close to my goal of one per hour.

Day 28 out of 52 meet goal

Very humid day but luckily the temps were only in the 80's. Good turnout for the weather. Blew one control #8 badly.
