Michigan Adventure Race Silver Lake Edition Travelled with Scott and Cris.
Great racing peeps in a SPECTACULAR venue. Loved, loved this race. Mostly on foot to maximize points--I missed punching one of the points, which was a bummer. Scott and consulted the nav, and when I lead it went well and felt great! We had 3 points on foot, which I bobbled the last which was so frustrating. Then, on to the bikes to paddle board to the submerged CP, three of us worked together to get it out of the water to punch. Then on to the boat. So beautiful with the woods to the east and dunes to the west. Crossed paths with so many I can't even name them all off!
Then on bikes to the middle O section, with great topo bobbled on 10 (wrong hilltop) but carefully spiked the rest. Then back on bikes for bike O, and even left a couple of points because we really wanted to hit the dunes! Great bike ride out there. Did very well until we got to the pine grove and overshot, lost confidence in getting back in time, and bailed.
Great race, so fun to see so many AR friends out there, and felt strong at the finish. Just one niggly cramp in the dunes.
