Day #2:
After a hard but awesome day on the course and fun times at the dinner, I decided to go over the map & plan for today. I felt really happy about my navigation yesterday & some how found it easier compared to back home! So at the start I was confident about the navigation today & would meet our goal today if we can pace it well.
Plan : 18, 15, 52, 83, 50, 62, 67, 66, 26, 36, 38, 23, 39, 49, 43, 44, 33
Actual: 18, 15, 52, 83, 50, 62, 67, 66, 26, 38, 23, 39, 49, 43
So, It was time to go east today and hence on to 18 with a small road run. When suiting up with snow shoes, saw getawaystix, herness, bash, bent flying past us - thought that would be the last time we see them for the rest of the day and I was right :).
We also had this coed team of two on snowshoes on our tail & wanted to lose them quickly. My team mate looked like he was feeling better today & was carrying a lighter pack - so we decided to start a little harder. 18, 15 were easy pickings. Animal-0 & Beez also had similar plan for atleast half the controls & they got to 15 seconds before us and were onto 83. Animal-0 provided us with some entertainment out of 15 & it was time to beat them to 83. While they went back to the trail, we got 52 quickly & very quickly 83. We got their sec after Animal-0 & Beez who came straight from 15 - we were on a roll today. Instead of going straight to 62, we decided to get 50 to make it easier on the way back. Got to 50 easily although there were a few tense moments with few stretches of this icy sheets on water. By the time we got to 50, saw the coed team who we had left behind crossing the lake right in the middle. That gave us some confidence the we sprinted across back to the trails and quickly got to 62. Now, we were racing with this other co-ed team where the guy was on skies and the girl on snowshoes. We leap flogged them to 62, 77, 66 & got them before them. The guy actually make skiing xc & through the crazy terrain so easy while the girl was pushing hard to keep up with him!
From 66 straight to the road cross & onto 26. Our navigation was bang on & we didn't waste any time looking for controls! Then we saw DD & escandido (looking a little pale & all bundled up!) in the opposite direction but with a dog which threw me off a bit but I was soo burried in the map that I couldn't process the fact paul was looking a little pale & why they had a dog with them ! The dog was very friendly and I spent couple mins with him while my team make caught up to me but buddy decided to stick with them.
We got to the road crossing and now our good roll & luck was about to change! The land lady was running towards us. The coed team decided to continue on ignoring her & she came to us. We were on the banks but contemplating crossing the lake but she wanted us to stay away from water.
She had just seen this guy go under & they had a dog! I could figure out it was escandio who went under... The woman had seen the map & compass in my hand and recognized that we were orienteering and I didn`t want to deny that nor reveal any more info & hence decided to go up & around the lake which costed us a lot of time!
By the time we got to 26, we were already past our cutoff time & hence decided to skip 36 & go straight to 38. Got to 23 & 39 easily & then to 49. Animal-0 & beez had warned me that river at 49 was not crossable but I scouted around and found a patch to cross but my partner was not comfortable with it & hence we decided to backtrack which costed us some more time. We got to 43 easily & had about 50mins left & hence continued onto 33 but my team mate was little concerned and that he wouldn`t make it finish line on time. So we bailed on 33 halfway through & got back on the trail, walked back to the finish. We had about 22 mins to spare!
Came in 3rd in all male category but lost 2nd place by 8 points!
All in all awesome two days of racing, nice people all around and very good organization! Hope to go back next year!!!

Event: CNYO Snowgaine
Snowgaine race (CYNO) 7:36:00 [4]
rhr:58 slept:4.0 shoes: XA PRO 3D ULTRA
Started pretty late on friday with Animal-0, beez & got stuck in traffic and spent about 30 mins just a kilometer away from my place!
Decided to circumnavigate lake Ontario on this so & hence entered US from Gananoque. At the border no one else was there but for us & after a long time met this US border officer who was smiling!!! As soon as we said we are going to pulaski, he was like "you going for that race??". Apparently a few of us went through that border! While waiting for some paper work, these two big guys walked into the office inquiring about cow ( a real cow!) - leave the rest for your imagination!
Day#1 - After long drive and 5hrs of sleep, had a good start to the day when we saw about 10 or so familiar faces at the brakefast !
Got the the race headquarters about 75mins before the start and met my partner for the first time! Maps were handed out & we decided to go west today
Plan : 41, 64, 56, 85, 45, 21, 37, 65, 63, 53, 48, 55, 51, 43, 44, 33
Actual: 41, 64, 56, 85, 45, 21, 65, 63, 53, 48, 55, 51, 42, 34, 35, 22
Wanted to start easy & get to now my partner a little better - we decided to go west and got 41, 64, 56, 85 easily. And then long run to 45, this time on snowmobile trail. My partners's rental snowshoes kept coming off and we realized he was carrying little heavier pack and we slowed down a bit. Were able to get 45, 21 but skipped 37 to collect it on the way back. Got to 65,63, 53 easily and back on to the trail towards 48. By now I had transferred soem stuff from my partner's pack to mine & we were able to run on trails. Trailed Paul & Chris on the trail before they decided to go north along the stream to 48 while we decided to stick to the trail & attack from the east. DD & Escandido made it to the control 5 mins ahead of us. Now onto 55 - decided to take bearing but avoiding hills.
At 55, we were running behind on our schedule & hence decided to skip 37 and went to 51. Since we were slow, decided to stick to the trails & attack 43 from east and picked up 42 along the way. Since we were running behind on time & little concerned about not making back in time, we decided to get to 34 instead of 43 there by moving towards the finish. Got 34, 35 easily & on the way to 22, running free flew past us. So decided to tuck in behind then to the finish line. Got back in with about 22 mins to spare!
