12 AM
Mtn Bike race 2:30:00 [4] 10.0 mi (4.0 mph)
Remainder of bike section to Camping Creek.
3 AM
Trek race 4:00:00 [3] 10.0 mi (24:00 / mi)
slept:0.25
Trek to 3 manditory CPs. As we were heading out we passed Technu returning so at this point we knew we were quite a bit behind them and adjusted our plan accordingly. I did comment to Jeff that one of their girls didn't seem to happy.
We returned from the trek missing the 2am cut-off which would have allowed us to continue on the original course but made the 3am cut-off avoiding a penalty. The good news was that only Dima from Calleva made the 2am cut-off (solo racer). The bad news was that the short course option had us biking back on the same route we took to get here. Ouch. It was at this point that we heard that Technu had dropped due to a health issue and all we needed to do was get to the finish by 4pm. We felt it would be tight.

7 AM
Mtn Bike race 3:30:00 [4] 30.0 mi (8.6 mph)
Bike back to Bluestone SP. With renewed urgency we rode back the same route much better which was a relief.
10 AM
canoe paddle race 3:00:00 [3] 5.0 mi (1.7 mph)
Paddle back to the Retreat from Bluestone SP against the current and the wind. Take-out in the mud (again) and portage up hill to the finish to win the Co-ed Elite category.
2 PM
Note
Post race follow-up-
Started race with 3 bags of food containing 14,000 calories. Approximately 2800 calories left over at the end of the race. There were points during the race when I felt I was a little low on calories and this kind of proves it as it works out to just under 300 cal/hr consumed.
