Wilderness Traverse with Mrs Gally, Tom M and Bender. Bit of a line-up change this year due to Gally's "retirement" (he'll be back), but a very solid team all the same. A nav bobble on CP3 cost us a considerable amount of time off the start, but we held a steady pace throughout and worked really well as a group. Bender suffered under the spell of some pretty nasty sleepmonsters in the final hours, and missing the road option that most other teams took to avoid a significant stretch of powerline torture really took its toll, but we held it together like a team that's raced together for years. My personal victory was not experiencing any stomach issues for the first time in...well, longer than I can remember!
Great fun, beautiful course, and getting to see Browner during the last stretch was the icing on the cake. Thanks so much Bob and Bash!
