Tyler, Megan, & I successfully endured another qualifying race.
Here is the race rundown...
-Friday we arrived just in time for meal & meeting (timezone change - oops!)
-Cheap and gimpy TA tent (good times - ask anyone of us)
-No prerace strategy, map, or coords. (maps were handed out at starting line)
-Began race in Thunderstorm at 6am
-Road muddy singletrack until bikes would no longer roll
-Subsequent brake problems from mud (Megan's back brakes went out - ask her about her raspberry and road rash)
-Missed CP7 because of brain fart (novice plotting mistake)
-Canoed up and down the Ohio (yes, the big river) while towing our bikes in an inflatable raft
-More fast biking (no brakes - reverse towing: Tyler & I were Megan's brakes down a couple big hills)
-High ropes (Megan volunteered to be blindfolded)
-Awesome night trek/orienteering (Powerhiking...nuff said)
-Marinara Meatball sandwiches at midnight (check out that alliteration)
-NO CRAMPS! (I love you e-caps!)
