3 AM

Adventure Racing race (Transition) 24:00 [0]

Awfully long time in transition?

7 AM

Adventure Racing (Transkei Tuff) 16 [0] 0.1 km (2:40 / km)

Transkei Tuff AR at Wavecrest on the Wild Coast with Team Cyanosis. Raced with Mac and Michael Owen. Unfortunately an unofficial team of 3 as Susan C-B had to withdraw a day before due to illness.

Bike stats:
Tm 6:22:21
Dst 96.7
Av 15.1
Mx 52.1

Adventure Racing race (MTB) 4:20:00 [5] 72.8 km (3:34 / km)
shoes: Specialized Epic FSR Mthn 2014

First leg was preceeded by a short 8-a-side soccer game which determined start order. We tied, so both teams started off at T-0.

Fast pace to start with against Painted Wolf (duo), Jabberwock and Castle Light. Lots of mud from rain over the previous 3-4 days.

Got a small gap after CP2 due to route choice and nav, but Painted Wolf closed the gap. The eventually started pulling away again on the road to CP6, but we passed them going to CP7 with better route choice through a new village. Couldn't find the CP however at a bridge and eventually gave up. Found race organizer a few kms later and let him know, and Painted Wolf also arrived and confirmed. Jabberwock did find it however, so we were forced to turn around and do an extra 9km before the Castle Light said it was hidden and the race organizer changed his mind again about needing to go back for it. This put us back in 4th place. Took us to CP8 to drop Castle Light and we only recaught Jabberwock on the next bike leg. Only saw Painted Wolf in the distance again and at CPs.

11 AM

Adventure Racing race (Kloofing) 1:26:00 [4] 5.0 km (17:12 / km)
shoes: Salomon Sense Mantra 4 blue/gr

Short abseil, kloof and run back up in the Gxara valley below the Gxara river mouth. Almost caught Jabberwock at one stage. Small mistake leaving the kloof.

1 PM

Adventure Racing race (MTB) 2:32:00 [4] 23.0 km (6:37 / km)
shoes: Specialized Epic FSR Mthn 2014

Back on the bikes for the ride back to Wavecrest. CP13 missing in the wrong place, meant all top 3 rejoined. We left with Jabberwock and cycled with them until CP15 where they got ahead of us.

4 PM

Adventure Racing race (Trekking) 1:53:00 [4] 12.0 km (9:25 / km)
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser yellow / bl

Short trekking leg around Wavecrest. FIrst along the coastal path, where we did a sneaky a dropped Jabberwock. However, they recaught us later when searching a quarry for a CP.

6 PM

Adventure Racing race (Transition) 5:00 [0]

Quick transition onto boats.

Adventure Racing race (Paddling) 1:25:00 [3] 10.0 km (8:30 / km)

Short paddle, first up the Ngqusi river, then back down to Wavecrest and up the iNxaxo river. Tide was going out, so slow on the way out and fast back to Wavecrest. Chose lines well with the shallow sandbanks and pulled a small 3 min gap on Jabberwock at the end.

7 PM

Adventure Racing race (Transition) 9:00 [0]

Short transition to foot for last leg.

Adventure Racing 3:33:00 [3] 22.0 km (9:41 / km)
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser yellow / bl

Final trekking leg. First section was 6km out on the dirt road. We were running under 6:00/km or so, but Jabberwock came flying past at about 4:30s. Could stay with them and they disappeared into the distance. Short search for CP29 at a river crossing and then a short swim across the iNxaxo at CP34. No other real problems, managing to find CP38 straight away, even though it was 600m wrong. Last section seemed to go fast along the beach back to Wavecrest.

So 3rd overall, a bit disappointing.
