Adventure Race 7:19:00 [3] 43.51 mi (10:05 / mi) +4432ft 9:12 / mi
Lightning Strikes 8-hr AR w Biz and Erl!
BIKE 1, CPs 1-3
quick 100m run to the bikes and then full gas on the gravel roads of Northern IL. some trouble w the 1st CP but then smooth sailing. the farms in this area are really pretty.
TREK 1, CPs 4-14 plus bonus A, B, C, D
trek in Pacific Palisades SP. we had pre-plotted map for CPs 4-14, had to go in order, and at some CPs there were bonus maps for the alpha controls. so a little OOB action just because we didn't have the total route. but we motored thru and were catching teams who were skipping the alphas. fun to see people in the woods!
BIKE 2, CP E
back to camp via alternate route to get bonus CP E. it was hung across the road from a pasture with a bunch of baby calves. i love baby calves. i wanted to just hang out at that CP and talk to them. but we kept going.
TREK 2, CPs 15-20 plus ropes
ropes included a zipline, ascent, and rappel. we did those first to avoid bottlenecks and then some more trekking around camp for a couple more CPs. crossed the river/creek a bunch which was really refreshing. it is at perfect packrafting levels right now. it was so funny to do this in the daylight when normally we are doing a version of this trek at the end of T-Rolls in the dark. flashback to 2016 when we were way behind, trekking in the dark and just struggling. in the daytime it is much nicer.
