Event: Ascot AR (Boundless)
8 AM
Adventure Race (Paddle leg ) 1:06:23 [3] 9.32 km (7:07 / km)
shoes: Epic V10
Went for the Westbound controls and decided that it would make sense to pick up all of the extras on this one as me and nick were reasonably strong paddlers. Unfortunately this meant that we were moving faster than the 5knots limit that Boltboi could do and we beat him out putting out those controls. Beat him to 4 where I jumped around in the mud a bit before deciding we would get the control on the way back of the loop around the island. Beat him out to 5 under the bridge as well.
Smashed along for the rest of them and back into the TA.

Adventure Race (transition) 6:06 [3]
Powered my nose and put my shoes on.
Adventure Race (Ride to TA2) 15:20 [3] 5.7 km (2:41 / km)
shoes: Giant XTC2 With XT Wheels
Possibly because I had spent so much time putting on my shoes meant that Team woop woop were in front of us for the ride to the bridge. We caught them on the other side. Clean through most of the controls to TA2 where we caught a number of other riders.
Adventure Race (transition) 1:08 [3]
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12
Quick grab the map and compulsory checklist for first aid kit
Adventure Race (Foot-O) 23:24 [3] 3.92 km (5:58 / km)
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12
I had not done black swan island for a while and last time I was on it was during rat race which did not really end too well and spent a lot of time.
Fortunately my nav was better for this one, however almost missed 11 at the start and headed straight to 12 from the TA. Not too huge a mistake but could have cost us a minute or so. Clean run through the rest of the controls and picked up all of the extra bonus controls as well.

Adventure Race (Ride back to TA1) 41:31 [3] 15.65 km (2:39 / km)

Pretty clean run through all of the controls. Misread some of the descriptions however everything was where we expected it to be as per the map.
Adventure Race (Foot-O) 17:49 [3] 3.44 km (5:11 / km)
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12
Foot-O line course around Bayswater. All really clean Nav. Nick even had time to get in touch with nature.
Came out with a Win! Nick and myself were pretty stoked. the paddle leg definetly gave us our edge, however we just managed to be quicker on all ride and MTB legs to get past Team woop woop. They were really suprised on how much we gained on the Foot-O out of TA2 and we were back on the bike speeding out as they came in.
The course was really well designed and everything ran smooth. Good planning to boltboi and tooms. Looking forward to the Albany AR
