Overall not our best race, but as a team we worked really well to get ourselves across the finish line.

On the first trek we probably went out too hard and I wasn't feeling great from 2 to 3. Our routes were good, but we seemed to be a bit off on the bearings and spent extra time walking along lakes to get to the CPs. Tyson hit a low when we started the bike and as a team we worked together to help him through the leg. Eddie was a super star during this leg towing Tyson whenever he could. By this point we were pretty far down on the lead teams so we just kept working together to get to the finish. Bike and Paddle nav went smoothly and we caught a few teams even though we were definitely slower than most during these legs.

Pulled off the paddle as morning was coming and had a great run along the trail as the sun came up. Pulled into the finish to the roar of the crowd and celebrated our hard work to get to the finish.

Congrats to all the top teams. Looking at the leaderboard it looks like very close race right into the finish.

Also congrats to K-way who finished a modified course as a team of 2 with her navigating the second half. She had a great time for her first AR race and I eventually had to tell her to be quite on the way home so that she'd go to sleep.

Out setting up flags for the Stars training. The exercise tonight was map memory so there was no map for people to carry, instead each control had a map hanging on it and they had to remember how to get to the next control. I think this worked well in the local part by my place which isn't very large and doesn't have a lot of features.
