Adventure Racing race (Kinetic Full Moon AR) 7:32:00 [4] 28.0 km (3.7 kph) +581m
shoes: Salomon XT Wings 2
Raced in a pair with Seth as Team Charnas. Seth had ITB to start with so we didn't run any of the hiking legs. This put us far down the field initially but we had a good consistent race through the night with speedy transitions. This allowed us to claw our way back into 6th place overall (out of 32 teams) and 3rd male pair, just 2 mins behind Here be Dragons (Tony and Steven). We had quite a bit of cat-and-mouse with them during the final hiking leg, including turning our headlamps off once we had found the hiking trail...
Probably the most fun I've ever had on an AR and Kinetic really put on an excellent course with just the right amount of adventure :-)
