Adventure Race race 5:28:00 [3] 36.5 mi (8:59 / mi)
Approx distances:
Bike: 26m
Run: 4.5m
Paddle: 6m
Raced with Happy Mutant. Started w/5k foot-o through Castlewood. Took over nav for this section after the first couple points, and we finished it cleanly. Slowed very early after injury to a teammate, and the pace stayed moderately easy for the rest of the race. On to the bike for a road section, during which we flew past a point and had to backtrack 3k roundtrip to get it. From there, entered singletrack to grab a few more points. After a slight hiccup, cleared this portion and received the map for a surprise 3k trek. Hit this section spot on but slowly and then biked the straight shot to the canoe put in. There, we received coords for the 2 paddle points, wrestled our bikes into the boats, and were off. After an uneventful paddle, we received a map for the final bike-o through Castewood (5ish miles). Finised in 12th place overall and 7th in our division. Not what I had been hoping for, but a decent training day nonetheless.
