Stars WAR with Hammer.
Despite all the snow in Loree yesterday we decided to run in shoes.
We decided to drop 2 early controls, then basically leapfrogged MBR thanks to Hammer’s pinpoint nav until WT (Bob and Luca) passed us a few controls in. We were ahead of schedule at our half way mark, and added some extra higher value controls in the steep hilly SW. We saw MBR one last time there, before they dropped us.
We executed our plan well, dropped 2 low value controls near the end and finished with 2 min to spare. We ended up 3rd overall (1st masters). WT cleared the course with 30 min to spare!
Bash and Browner won female too.
Nice course by Nick. Good to race with Hammer, and I felt like I was on the map pretty well this time.
