Orienteering race (Snowshoe) 6:45:00 [3]
shoes: Montrail GTX
Day 2. This time we'd planned skis, but chickened out and went with snowshoes. They were a good choice in the deep snow, and we could hook up and trot at a decent speed on trail- until Bash broke *both* her Atlas Race after lots of clumping around on bare ground, mud, deadfall and slush. We managed to fiddle them back together with some of my gadgetry. Met the Fatboys on skis a lot, and ran with the KittensX4 a fair bit too, but they left us behind.
Again we were behind sched due to heavy going, so we dropped a couple of 30 pointers. After some road running Bash wisely decided to drop a 70 pointer too, which gave us enough time to clean up everything else. This was a hard day out for me. As always Bash's nav was great, and her route planning and calculations on the fly were excellent.
MBR was on the same route, but moving fast despite slogging without snowshoes. They dropped only one 30 pointer, but the ferocious kittens all cleaned the course!
We won the Masters and the mighty Kittens won the female (of course), beating all but EMS who came in ahead of them on time.
MBR1 was 2nd male, and MBR2 was second co-ed. Fun outing with a lot of friends!
