| FAR champs with La Femme and Leanimal out in beautiful Bon Echo park. Geoff took on the task of course designer in addition to his regular cumbersome duties. The race was extremely fun, with the highlight being the technical mountain bike section. There was also a lot of challenging navigation on the bikes with lots of ATV trails going in every direction except for 'generally west', as was given in our instructions. Luckily Leanimal was on her game and we popped out exactly where we needed to. Technical biking is only fun if you don't need to backtrack...
La Femme pushed the pace for the last section of the bike, as per usual. We needed to hammer if we had any hopes of keeping ahead of Beowolf, Adreline Rush and the Tree Huggers. We had also seen team Salomon Suunto during an out-and-back but catching them on the bikes was going to be near impossible. Of course the last leg was in the boats - which is not our strongest discipline. We paddled as we have never paddled before with Beowolf tight on our tail. There were many grunts and some funny heavy breathing but we ended up gaining some time on the boat in front of us and managed to keep our distance from Beowolf. Arriving at the beach we only had a 'quick' run through the campsite to the finish. One last look to water and no sight of any other teams so it wasn't a complete sprint to the finish but we did not want to take any chances. Ends up that SRS only crossed the line a minute or two before us.
It was a great race with the ladies and our best finish in a competitive field. Third overall and only 20 something minutes behind the leaders Salomon Suunto. Can't wait for next year!!!
