Adventure Racing race 10:45:00 [4]
ahr:141 max:180
Hot, sticky, smoggy and buggy SAC Long course with Bash and Hingo. This was the toughest 1-day race yet, over 95km. Lots of nasty swamp mucking, and thick alders and junipers to bash through. Bash did some great nav, and we had a good race even with our bashed Bash, and a tow-rope wrapped in my rear wheel. I drank lots on the course, but think I drank 7 bottles of water after!
The lead teams got held up at a T/A from paddle to trek/swim when their bags hadn't arrived, but we'd planned ahead to have equipment with us in case this happened, and were able to carry on rather than resting and getting time credits like the 6 teams ahead of us.
Figured it would keep us in the racing mentality.
3rd co-ed, 6th overall, with a strong field.
We got passed by SRS 4 times!
According to my HRM I was only in zone 4 for 1.5 hours, but I'm giving it a 4 due to the overall difficulty.
