FAC Deerhurst with Bash and Goose. See Bash's log for pics.
We started on bikes, with Goose doing his Jan Ulrich impression towing Bash and me gasping along beside. Some mucky snowmobile trails, but nav went well and we were with the leaders until 6, where some map imprecision left us hunting for over an hour on the opposite side of a marsh. We were in 11th after that.
Back to Deerhurst and TA to boats. Goose found us a boat that tracked well under his masterful control, but I pounded the hell out of my tailbone on the wooden seat. Pouring rain but a good paddle.
Back to the TA we saw FB already done! We started the trek, and Bash was great on the nav. I took the passport, which got progressively soggier as we went on, and came apart at the folds. I had a heck of a time finding the right bits to punch, and the ink washed out.
Even with our nasty error at 6, we finished up 4th,1st co-ed, just behind the mighty Bobkittens...
Until I handed in the passport, and we were missing one of the $#@!% segments.:( I ran back to the last CP to look, but no-go.
Oh well, a fun day out with my team.
Note- saw the splits. We were 3rd on the paddle- 3 min slower than Phatty's boyz, and second on the trek- 6 min behind the FB Brigade.

Back up to the sugar shack looking for the friggn passport piece. No luck.
