Event: Maine Summer Adventure Race
10 AM
Orienteering 1:58:00 [3] 7.5 mi (15:44 / mi)
slept:7.0 shoes: Hoka Mafate Speed
Maine Summer 24 hr AR with Mindy Fernando, Kevin Poirier and Erik Grimm.
Way too reasonable 10am start made for an easy morning. Map handout at 8:30a gave us plenty of time to review our route. We would be getting additional maps on the course so in reality all we had to figure out was how to get to each of those locations and devise a plan for the first o-section. We decided to hit the 4 northern points first. We ran into The Trail Vets at CP1 and Mason grabbed the photo below. The mosquitos must be wearing camo.
We hit the next few points pretty easily with NYARA. We punched 5 and then set out on the A-B-C loop only to discover that C was misplaced. After peppering the area for 40 minutes we finally gave up on it and headed back to the TA where Joe and Jeremy confirmed it was not in the correct location.

Road ride to the next orienteering section with the Untamed NE.com boys.
1 PM
Orienteering 4:08:00 [3] 10.8 mi (22:58 / mi)
shoes: Hoka Mafate Speed
Lots of bushwhacking on this o-course. About midway through we caught up to NYARA (who had found the elusive C in its misplaced location) and traveled with them for the next few controls. We eventually moved ahead of them when they stopped for water. Struggled a little with the next control which was near a small lake on one map. One the other its was just a low, swampy area which we figured out once we were in it.
As we were transitioning to bikes Rootstock arrived so our lead was essentially just a few minutes.

Mtn Bike 2:01:00 [3] 17.8 mi (8.8 mph)
More road biking with a short jeep trail section in the middle. More mosquitos.
8 PM
Mtn Bike 1:24:00 [3] 9.0 mi (6.4 mph)
MTB-O
This was an awesome mtn bike park outside of an airport and a cemetery in Augusta. We were instructed to find 4 CPs along a marked route. The difficulty of this task ramped up when the mtn bike race organizer decided to re-mark the course for the next day's event. We were somewhat fortunate to complete this in the last bit of daylight.

9 PM
Orienteering 27:00 [3] 3.0 mi (9:00 / mi)

Urban-O
A quick urban loop around town which was kind of fun. Had some fun with some drunk locals who thought we were in the Amazing Race.

10 PM
canoe paddle 1:49:00 [3] 9.0 mi (5.0 mph)
We quickly transitioned to canoeing prior to Rootstock arriving on the bikes so we essentially had no idea what our lead was.
The paddle was a lot of fun with Sturgeon jumping out of the water and so little light pollution that I was able to pick up the Milky Way. Discover 169 canoes are so slow.
