Adventure Race race 8:00:00 [5]
Raid Pulse 8-hour AR with ActiveSteve. We had a bad start, thanks mostly to my poor navigation on the opening trek section ;-) Then a little bobble on the bike section to find the start of some trails at Mt Ste Marie cost us a little more time. But we pulled things back together and managed to race strong and clean from that point on, and cleared the course (the last team to do so) and cross the finish line with under 2 minutes to spare in the race. I think we finished about 10th overall and likely 4th or 5th in our duo-male category. This was a great, challenging course with lots of pure wilderness, beautiful paddling, a short swim, and some true single track mountain biking on the Mt Ste Marie trails. Overall an excellent race course and a beautiful day for racing - except for the CRAZY black flies that are out in full force at the moment!
