Angry Seagull race up in Temagami with Dee, the Hot Shot Lawyer and Relentless.

Having stolen 1/2 of team Running Free for this race I knew we'd have good company for the whole race. The bike was a hot one, but went smoothly for us once we recovered from trying to take a trail that didn't exist in the first 5 min. Once on the boats we had an enjoyable paddle in Temagami in the heat of the day. The portages definitely wore me down, but the ever entertaining Pullin Foot kept me amused the whole paddle. We ended up coming off the water in first place, but there was a congo line of teams behind us giving chase.

The trek was the make or break of this race and our team nailed it even though Tyson was feeling pretty ill for this. We cross the stream at dry land before 6 and came across the top of the lake. When the lake got to slow to walk along we jumped in and swam to the CP, we then swam back across the lake to hit the trail and continued on to 7 and 8. From 8 we found some trails that got us closer to the Advanced CP and then jumped into the woods to trek the rest of the way. Leaving the Advanced CP we did one final swim across the lake which was nice with the morning sun, and then a trek/run into the finish. We knew we were the first team at CP6, but after that it really was anyone's guess as we didn't see anybody and all remaining CPs were unmanned.

Pulled into the finish and glad to find out we'd won the overall.

I really enjoyed this race and the area was perfect for an old school adventure race. My teammates were great the whole race and we raced perfectly together right up until we crossed that finish line.
