Event: Stars Winter Adventure Race
 

First part of the Stars Adventure Race. Led into 1 and then had to break trail the whole way up to the top of the escarpment and around the controls at the top. With some highly strategic route planning I was able to lead Bent off course causing him some time delays.

Basically I knew he had to go back to 2 because he had the SI, while I didn't (Eddie was getting that for us). So rather then heading directly in the direction I needed I split the difference between Bent's route and mine hoping Bent would follow me, it helped that there was a bit of a trail for us to follow. Then at a certain point I took a sharp left back to my control and Bent was on his own to go get 2. This worked a bit because Bash and Bent ran into each other and at that point Bash knew he was off course.

We needed all the help we could get in the snowshoe because Bash and Bent were much better skiers then Eddie and I and we knew they were slowly tracking us down. At the end it came down to a race line to the finish luckily with us punching before them.

Good fun out there, I would just like to see it a bit longer.

C • Longer? I wish so too 11

Post race ski with EJ, also picked up some controls for Nick.

A few weights as I'm still nervous after my back tightened up a few weeks back.

Mon night intervals with EJ. Double pyramids, 1-2-3-3-2-1, 1-2-2-1, 1-1.

1 min off inbetween.
