Cycling race 8:45:00 [3]
RTN Bike leg 2. What should have been an easy 83km on dirt and paved roads was a 100km ride that I spent battling horrible sleep monsters for 3-4 hours, despite 4 catnaps and 2 caffeine pills. Also had a slow flat :(
I was disappointed as my biking's been really good, but training's irrelevant when you're seeing a wobbling black tunnel with 2 Bashes in front, with a canoe on their handlebars! I don't know how you train for that.
Paddlng (Second paddle leg) 6:00:00 [4]
RTN Final leg. Worked pretty hard on this one, trying to finish before the course closed. We were the last team to cross the finish, but were unranked.
I'm glad we didn't throw in the towel after CP1 but kept on and finished the course after TA2.
Only 4 teams out of 22 finished ranked.
Adventure Racing race (Trek and Rappel) 6:00:00 [3]
shoes: Brooks Cascadia Pivot
RTN Trek, Rappel and River Scramble.
Fairly easy bushwhacking to a very scenic rappel, more bushwhacking to trails where we hiked rather than ran (since we were unranked anyway), and an interesting river scramble which involved splashing, wading and swimming.
