ODX Hiwassee, VA
-9 degrees at the start....
Lost a few minutes going to cp 2 because of route choice. There were 2 equal choices on the map but only one was a well defined trail and we chose the other.

This leg had a tough section following a river/stream up to the cp. There were at least 50 crossings where you had to dismount and find a way across without falling through the ice.

Final rogaine section with lots of rhodo bushwacking and hilltops. 2 members of the team devloped some breathing issues which were obviously related to the cold start to the day.
Temps had wamed up to the mid to hi 20s overnight. Light snow was falling above 2500'.
