 | Adventure Racing 4:30:00 [4] | |
| |
| The Connell Clan performed extremely well at the Esprit FAR race. As expected, my brother and sister were natural adventure racers and loved the experience. After the trekking section we were surprised to find out that we were fourth overall and 1st coed. This meant that the relaxing racing experience with frequent yummy snack breaks I had promised my siblings was thrown out the window as our competitive spirit (and desire for swag) was now at the forefront. With a couple teams right on our tail, we hammered through the rest of the course. The two biking sections were super fast but the paddling was a slog fest. Our inflatable kayak was like a drunk shark zigzagging its way down stream. The coed team behind us took a great overland short cut and popped out right beside us. They managed to just pull ahead of us on the final bike section. So 2nd coed for us and 5th overall. Still pretty impressive for a couple of newbies, but hard to loose by only 30 seconds. |

| My parents wouldn't let me go running today since that guy murdered two people down the road from our cottage and supposedly he's still in the area. Kind of scary... |

| Managed to pull myself away from the computer to get out on the bike. Rode to the pinery and explored some of the trails. I found all kinds of great ski trails that I had never been on before. Lots of fun. |
