Salomon Adventure Challenge Long Course - Frontenac
Adventure Racing race 12:10:00 [2]
SAC Long course with Bash and Hingo.
Went from a pretty good trek at 4AM in the pouring rain and thunder, to a reasonable bike ride, to a really great longer trek where we moved up to 2nd place overall.
Next we had a fairly decent paddle, but from there we had navigation issues on the Advanced Trek (See Bash's log) . Also medical issues due to heat and I wondered if we'd have to withdraw, but the only way to stop Hingo would be to shoot him, so we kept cooling him and feeding him salt and biked slowly home the last 30km. Oh well, highs and lows. Some fantastic scenery on treks and biking, and the paddling was nice too.
Finished 6th co-ed, probably 10 or 11 overall. My new recumbent's podium streak ends at 5. Still great to be racing with original tree huggers for the first AR this season. I finally get to race with Bash again, and as usual watched her get stronger as the hours ticked by.
