Event: Odyssey One Day Xtreme
 

Odyssey one day extreme 24-hour. Weather was beautiful! It felt like summer. The terrain was as expected- hilly. We started on foot and went hard with a lot of running. We went right into the paddle rather than plotting the additional points which was a smart move - we started at 11:37 and finished at 5:30 with all the points around the water. Nice to not have to choose and go back. With the 6:00 cut off this ended up being a good strategy. There were a lot of trek points off the water so we did as much biking as we could before heading out to the second o-course. We made several errors on the orienteering and it ended up taking us 7 hours. Ouch! Last we went and got one last single track point and the 4 bike points to the northwest before finishing with all the points at 8:30 am. We were one of only 3 teams to clear the course and finished second overall and first in the 4-person division. Cool! Very happy with this result!

Yeah, it was raining. I SHOULD have gone outside for a ride, but I decided I can be wimpy on a recovery ride... Um, I also don't want to get my bike components unnecessarily wet.

Run - right after bike. Easy with a few light pick ups.

Easy Run with 4x 90s taper intervals. Niceish day out. Not too windy and sort of warm.

Recovery spin on the trainer. First AR of the season coming up Saturday! Woo woooo!
