Running - Trail 1:00:00 [3] 6.0 km (10:00 / km)
WT Leg 4: Trek
After our quickest transition of the race, we were off, determined to quickly gap the other team. It all seemed well, whenever we looked back we never got sight of them. A bit of a panic when we briefly lost the trail in an area of open rock and they were suddenly in view, but at that point it also seemed clear they were not trying to catch us.
Then we just settled in for a slog to the finish - it seemed to take forever to reach the highway, but we finally got there. That final section of road seemed to stretch off into infinity, but finally, there was the finish line.
Couldn't be happier with the result, the team and the race. Bender and Katie Mac were great team members. Probably the worst thing about the team was that Hammer couldn't join us.
I wouldn't want to do another 24 hour AR soon (mainly just that I hate the level of preparation required), but will definitely be back for 2014.
Kudos to Bash and Getawaystix for an excellent event. Also the race volunteers, every CP was ultra friendly and fun, each with a unique theme. Though the free beer and cheer squad wasn't a planned part of CP3 it was pretty funny, also shout out to 'Bents more sophisticated cheese and crackers and also CP7, where they brought the SI box to the boat so you didn't have to get out and also supplying us with hot tea - exactly what you need at 3am.
