Event: Bitter Pill AR
Adventure Race 10:00:00 [5] 37.0 mi (16:13 / mi)
My first ever AR win, thanks to amazing navigation from Tom Martin of Chafing the Dream and a very strong performance from Evan.
Full race report to come soon (once I finish the damn NIAR report), but it was so fun to race up front. We were neck-and-neck with Rob, Nicki and Glen (racing as GOALS) for most of the race, thru the last TA, when we got very lucky, and they got very unlucky. It should have been a sprint to the finish but we somehow ended up an hour ahead.
Amazingly, we left at least an hour out on the course in mistakes and searching for one tough point, plus Tom was cramping starting around two hours in, so he was struggling to maintain our pace. Crazy to think we could have gone even faster.
Besides winning, I'm excited and relieved to know I'm in good shape for Fiji.
