Second year racing with daughter Emma
We had a good strategy which allowed Emma to recover after bike and run start but weather played havoc with our plan and for all teams as we were not allowed to go on the water after the bike with thunder and lightening
I did not realize this until I had Emma run to paddle boarding where we were told we would have to wait at least 10 minutes so I decided to attempt checkpoints 51 and 50 which I was concerned about finding the "in distinct" trail as in past races it was tough to find but found it and the two checkpoints got turned around coming out of 51 trying to find trail and Emma was very patient watching mom navigate. Was going to attempt 46 amd took bearing but was not confident enough that I would find it quickly enough to keep Emma motivated so followed Lakota trail to low ropes which she handled like a champ
She requested to dive for discs next and luckily water was back open so on we went
Decided to head out on water pick up a few checkpoints then looked North where sky was very black so headed quickly over to beach to do paddle board back to hub to sling shot, music station then down about 2 km to attempt 33 as weather was starting to not look good
Attached checkpoint from
South side which was totally wrong thought it was in same spot as last year realized I had to go up north side to get it
At this point it started to down pour and severe thunder and lightning so grabbed 33 and Emma and I pushed hard on road back
I could hear some whimpering behind me with every thunder crash and I have to say she was a trooper !
Very proud of Emma turns out with 720 points we would have won the female division but because we entered the family decision and it was stacked we had to settle for fourth.
Great day with my girl and very proud of my son and nephew who pulled off first in the family division
Thanks Sean and Heather and all the volunteers for another fantastic well organized race!!
