Event: Salomon Dontgetlost.ca Raid the Hammer
 

Silence Beckons returned to the full RAID field with an all Ironman team though two of us were banged up and the third had run a marathon the weekend before. Started out strong with good route choices in the 1st section but well back in the pack due to running speed. Made a 4:00 error on walk the line between 3 & 4. I was out to lunch but TD kept us on track. Very nice route choice to 6 though. Fueled up on Smarties and off on the long run through matrix and through 8 to 12. Took off ankle support as foot was sore. 3:00 error to 8 contouring too far around the hill. No problems to 9, 10, 11 and 12. Long run again through the matrix and to CPE and back to aid station. Put ankle support on after weakness starting. Took cross country route to 14 but was near spent so dropped to recovery speed. Again took the cross country route to 15 and 16 as speed was down. Major route choice error at 17, went down to river valley instead of staying high. Cost us 7:00. A bit of discussion to 18 but not problem. Cross country to 19 and trail to 20, 21 and around the track to 22 and home.
Pretty worn out by race finish though no injuries as went to a pace that worked. Muscles were cramping a bit from the side hills. Football spikes were great for up and down hills but tough on foot with many miles of running on flat, hard surfaces. Major ice bath after for 15:00. Coldest ever but I needed it with dings all over.
Beautiful day in the woods and excellent course though had to concentrate on keep running! TD was excellent on navigation. The poorer navigation teams are in the half Raid so it comes down to foot speed. With 14:00 in errors we could have picked up 3 spots but overall a great race!! Result 33 out of 45 in the full raid, 6th out of 10 in Masters.
