Event: Gorge Games Adventure Race
 

Started on on the trek and decided to high Mt D early. Hooked up with Scott and Tracy as we made our way past CP75. Ended up trekking with them for the rest of the evening and moring. SOme great views of the moon over Hood and a nice one of the clouds blowing off to watch the sun raise.

Complete guess on distances and elevation for entire race. But hit Mt D again. Camera crew was not ready when we got up there since we were first. Maybe they will have a nice shot of us heading down hill. The endo was farther down the hill, so they missed that one as well. Hit Post canyon after that and grab more CPs on the way back to town.

Overall had a good race. Limited time spent lost or searching for CPs. Only one big mistake of heading down the wrong trail, but solved quickly. Need to change up food as starte the first bike section feeling like crap because of a bar I ate. Back to liquid foods for me before biking.

Kayak section of Wicked race. Was hanigning in 3rd -5th most of the paddle. Watch Rick and Duncan head back out for a last loop with just over 20 minutes left on the clock. Could have likely made it in time, but figured we would use the time in the TA looking at the maps and eating.

C • You guys were moving great ... 5

Climbed up from Hood River to remote TA. Got CP 100 & 250 on the way up. THought we were going to lose all the point because we were so late, but then ran into like 5 teams on the road. Figured at least we were not the only ones.
