Multisport 5:22:00 [3] 58.0 km (5:33 / km)
Ona Mission Multisport Adventure. I had been looking forward to this race ever since I moved up here. It started at South Mission Beach, with a paddle over to Dunk Island, then running on the trails on the island, then a paddle back, then onto the bike and up the beach and onto some trails through the rainforest, then ending with a beach run. Absolutely brilliant day for it and I had a lot of fun. (Though the beach run at the end was rather pointless and less fun). After being warned of cassowaries, crocs, snakes, and many other dangerous creatures, I was happy to get away with disturbing just one snake. The surf club did a great job hosting the race and made it a really friendly event.
