Adventure Race 12:00:00 [3] 71.0 mi (10:08 / mi)
CT Day 2
one of the proudest race moments for me was checking WABAR in on time for the start of Day 2. BAM.
TREK 1, CPs 22-23, 2mi
no mandatory gear for this. road run up to "The Sinks", then back down to "The Cave" which Space Monkey did while we chatted w lead teams, then down to "The Rise" and feeding the fish.
ROPES 1, CP24
200' or so rappel? we were in 4th at this point and only 3 lines so we took it EZ on the hike up. didn't have to wait much tho. i went down first, then rocky33, then Space Monkey, then Garrison. we got back into our bins after the rappel (luxury racing...changing shorts!) so kinda slow TA but rolled out of Sinks Canyon SP around 8am, close to Journey and Silent Chasers.
BIKE 1, CPs 25-26, 25mi
road ride thru Lander to Riverton. flat and fast. we pacelined well, but i pulled a little bit too hard in the beginning and had a blow-up around mile 15. thank goodness for teammates :)
TOMAHAWK 1, CP27
special challenge in RIverton. we each had to stick a tomahawk throw. Garrison made it first time, then the rest of us got it after not too much longer. we got to wear sweet hats too.
BIKE 2, CP28, 20mi
road ride from Riverton to Boysen Resevoir. still flat and fast. still pacelining well, except my crank got loose AGAIN in the last 5mi or so. thankfully i could sit in the draft and on tow and hardly pedal at all. JR happened to be working that next TA so i borrowed his wrench again and he let me keep it for the rest of the race.
PADDLE 1, CP29, 6mi
flatwater paddle in canoes in the resevoir. same setup as the Mule: me/Garrison and Space Monkey/rocky33. hot but no wind. i navved.
TREK 2, CPs 30-33, 2mi
optional CPs. super cool terrain...like a dried up lake bed/desert. desolate. when we got back to the boats we all went for a swim and majorly restocked on water using Space Monkey's magic sack.
PADDLE 2, CPs 34-36, 9mi
back in the resevoir, hotter yet and very still. good to not have to battle winds but we were roasting! i navved again and screwed us up on CP35, went inland too early. i gave/Garrison took maps back after that. i was having a super hard time w the scale - not used to being able to see for 9mi straight!
TREK 3, CPs 1-10, 7mi
the end-of-day trek. on the paddle we thought we could get this done in daylight and we were right! went north first. crossed the river on the underside of RR bridge - two 2x10s and a cable! fun fun.
EOD2 TA
we got back to TA about 8pm, and didn't have to leave til 6am the next day. this was not a scenario we were anticipating but it was fun anyway - we all had a sunset swim in the lake, good dinner and chat time w other teams. probably got about 6-7hrs sleep but again i had a hard time sleeping thru.
