| Won the 6 degree of Navigation Adventure Race at Tenaway Forks, racing with Eric Bone, Clint Arney and Yumay as a 4C. We won overall about 30 minutes ahead of Rinn, Frechy and Matt, and Kimberbly/Peteris were 1h10 behind.. the big lead was not there until the end of the last trek, so we were still moving pretty fast. Yumay was great out there and only towed on the hills on the run. Great weather and Eric naved close to perfect so it was an enjoyable trailrun, no nav from my side...

| BEAST #4, raced again with yumay and this time I made virtually no mistakes.... the race started with a massive 5 leg prologue of which some team members could sit one out... yumay did the swim I did the shortO and clownbike... these are the times combined for shortO, teamO and micrO.... ran at my current speed limit except for the teamO where I had to wait for yumay just a little bit on the long flat legs.. she was running much faster than she used to and I think we got 3rd fastest time on that.. in any event we started the chase start in 3rd place only 1.5 minutes behind a 3M and 1M team as the first coed.. |
| Mountainbike 38:30 [2] 9.0 mi (4:15 / mi) +130m 2:33 / km | |

| biked to the BEAST start from work... taking it easy... traffic was insane so the biking was a great decision... |

| unsure of the times and distances.. will update when i see the results... really great mountain bike chase start.... we were always within viewing distance of close competitors, and there were five teams where the lead constantly changed.... team manny's pulled ahead at the end, these guys were naigating like Bone, superb in that trail maze... we ended up being in 3rd place about 30 sec behind PPF for the last 30 minutes, but pulled ahead of them at the last CP when the overshot by a bit and finished in 2nd place about 30 secs ahead of them... had a great time.... |
