I was 12 minutes off the podium in 4th! Drat! How many ways could I have trimmed those minutes?! There’s always something…
Some photos are also available. Here is a selection with a focus on how awesome I am.
Hauling my 58 pound boat up to the road.
Bridget, solo women’s winner and sole entrant, got it done on a cheap mountain bike and a $20 Wal-mart boat.
Jenny looking photogenic after seven hours in the woods.
I like this photo because it shows what I did for an hour after I finished: pick burrs off my knee warmers.
Bill congratulating Larry on a hard won finish. Larry got lost at couple times, had search and rescue called on him, but avoided them and gutted it out under his own power.
Good stuff. In the post yesterday I neglected to mention one of my favorite things about the format: the ambiguity of the most efficient route, bonus checkpoints, and bushwacking sections made it effectively impossible to have a clue who and where your competition was. I think I’ll do more of these.
