Adventure Race race 10:19:00 [4]
shoes: Salomon XA 3D Ultra 2
Remaining racing hours.
Finished 17th out of 34 teams (7 DNF'd, 2 unranked), first female team.
This is the first race where I actually ate all my food during every leg & could have used more.
Love my shoes for this. Was a little worried, since I hated them during the raid, but that had way more running. So glad I didn't use my SpeedCross that would have been trashed.
I knew going in I'd be weakest link on the team, having not been paddling or biking enough, not to mention how much more of an adventure Serra da Freita ended up being. For the most part it wasn't an issue until the final road bike surprisingly. But it was interesting being the weakest as it has been a long time since that has happened in a race. Still felt great at the end.
Hands suffered lots of blisters from the paddle.
Bugs bites have covered my entire body. My left ankle was totally swollen from bug bites as was my right eye. I also got pink eye/infection in my right eye. Woke up with my eye swollen shut & crusty from puss. Wearing glasses now, that I hate. Next time putting polysporin drops in my first aid kit and a topical numbing agent for ang's chaffing.
