Event: Wilderness Traverse
 

Haven't done Wilderness Traverse for a few years and last time we didn't finish when Tyson ended up pretty sick. Simpy joined the team this year and got along great with everyone, except for the fact that we end up showing up right before registration. I'm sure this didn't line up with diligent race prep, but we made it work and we were still in bed by 10:30.

I enjoyed everything about this race except maybe the bike ride out of CP9 until you got off the trail which was killing my hands/upper body on that section of trail. Navigation was pretty good except for some small loopy nav into CP15. Got to see lots of friends and felt like we were a part of the race the whole time. I was feeling like A$$ from the first trek up until our first swim and that seemed to really reset the body and from then on I was pretty good. Last hour of the bike ride was a bit of a slog for me, but got through it.

As always the team was a lot of fun and put up with my exuberant personality the whole race. Really glad I signed up this year. Now just 4 weeks to recover and train for 100 miles.

Have to bike to G-town later today so got out for a longer run, but not too long so I can survive the ride in the heat later on.
