Event: South Coast Adventure Race
9 AM
Adventure Racing race 7:35:15 [3] *** 81.92 km (5:33 / km) +45m 5:33 / km
shoes: Salomon Speedcross 3
South Coast Adventure Race in Windsor-Essex. Crash Splash and Dash finished 12th overall and 5th in category two-man.
Hot day to race so hydration was key. We both drank well over 3L each during the event. We made a few navigation mistakes on the first half of the bike. Middle of the race ~10k paddle was excellent. Then there was a nice rail trail section which required some hike-a-bike on the way to the o-score.
Got all 9 checkpoints in the O-score in the second half of the race, but had encounters with stinging nettles, thorns, swamp and heat cramps. A landowner allowed us to walk down his driveway which helped that part of the planned o-score route we wanted to take, instead of more thorns and bushwacking. (wasn't predesignated as out of bounds)
Towed BradE on the bike for the last 5km on the paved roads. Very small overall elevation change, maybe 50 or 60m in this race over 80 km for the entire course.:)
Beer was great at end of race. :)
