Trek race 5:45:00 [4] 12.0 mi (28:45 / mi)
Trek finale back to our bikes. A bit of controversy over a checkpoint that was missing but we convinved them to give us credit for it. More plotting. We are the last ones to leave the TA.
Mtn Bike race 2:30:00 [4] 12.0 mi (12:30 / mi)
Tough road ride to a bike drop. Lots of climbing up to a firetower cp and then a summit finish for the bike drop. We pushed pretty hard because of the time cutoff at the bike drop.
Trek race 1:45:00 [4] 4.0 mi (26:15 / mi)
Bushwack and trail run to a bike O in Promised Land Park. We skipped two points on this trek which were going to be tough with the rhodos and blueberry bushes.
Mtn Bike 2:15:00 [3] 8.0 mi (16:52 / mi)
Bike o in promised land . 7 of 8 controls here turned out to be the key to the race. Some great trails and some fun riding with Gung Ho.

Paddle - canoe race 1:21:00 [4] 8.0 mi (10:07 / mi)
Canoe paddle on the Upper Delaware to Barryville. Put in the river in the top 8 or so after plotting and a quick trip to portalet. We made up some ground (water) on the teams in front of us and settled in only to flood the canoe going through a series of fast water rapids. Comparing time with the teams around us we lost about 12 minutes. Not bad and we rearranged the boat seating with me in the middle. The funny part was when Jen announced she was bailing as the entire canoe was 4 inches underwater.
Trail run race 46:00 [4] 2.5 mi (18:24 / mi) +394ft 16:01 / mi
Quick run down the road to a misplotted cp...the misplotted point was right where we plotted it. Pulled out the instructions and replotted the cp
.5k North. Up the hill to find the cp then to a paintball challenge.
Lost another 10 minutes here.
Paintball Challenge
Knock a half fullmilk jug off a table with 20 shots. Knocked ours off with about 10 shots. Ran back down to the river along the correct route.

Trail run out to a culvert under I84.

Dirt roads to the O course. Pulled into cp 13 in the lead by a few minutes for the first time in the race.
Trek race 1:58:00 [3] 4.0 mi (29:30 / mi)
Trekking in Thunder Swamp Trail System. Made an initial mistake by not finding the correct access point we were looking for. TA was plotted to the south of the trail but was actually North of it. We recovered and broke even with another team in here. Looking back on the map we could have done much better and possibly cleared it had we gone in the order we wanted.
