A big course with lots of small sections during the day, and a hefty packraft/trek overnight with substantial strategy and route and discipline choice. We were jostling with UNE, Strong Machine, and No Complaints for the first 9-10 hours and then pulled ahead on the overnight trek/packraft and looked over our shoulders for the entire ride to the finish. Good strategic decisions, moved well, awesome team dynamics, and broots worked his magic on the maps.
Huge thanks to Kate and Cliff for another great MSAR - one of the races I look forward to most every year!
