Goomna adventure race - run leg. Easy nav, all on roads. David Frei was towing Yvonne Deyo while I took the map. Really spiked all three, but the second control was misplaced. We were in first by about 5 minutes at the transition.

Bike leg. Had to use mountain bikes even though it was all road. Rode lead with David drafting and Yvonne drafting/towing behind him. Pretty stiff effort as we figured this was our chance to open the lead. Got to the exchange about 12 minutes ahead.

Obstacle course. Various goofy adventure race type challenges. The most entertaining was the water balloon toss.

Fairly easy trail taken at modest pace so we all stayed together.

Shuttling the bikes across the lake in the canoe with David. Time doesn't include about 20 minutes on the far side putting the bikes back together and waiting around while David went back for Yvonne. The team behind us had closed slightly on the trail section, but then boomed the shuttle badly, going up the wrong inlet. Lead was around 20 minutes as we got back on the bikes.

Back on roads again, hammering on the front with David and Yvonne behind. Yvonne couldn't tow anymore because we broke the tow. It didn't matter as she does a fine job drafting.

spiked:0/1c
Long paddle the entire length of Silver Lake. Had a little trouble finding the takeout as the sun had set and it was hard to make out the shore details on the 1:100,000 map. Didn't lose much time. Still in the lead by about 20 minutes.

Final run leg. Includes about 5 minutes climbing down into the Highland sewers via a manhole and then scrambling through 200m of drainpipe. Finished first. Fun event, although longer than I expected. Final time was 6:14:26. David and Yvonne won last year's event in just over 3 hours.
