7 AM
Orienteering race 4:46:00 [4] 10.85 mi (26:22 / mi)
This was our chance to finish off the rest of the Orienteering course. We started with sights on clearing the course. I had some troubles navigating from the area Northwest of ACE to the otherside of ACE. The trailmap and topo map didn't match. This cost us significant time and clearing the course. We left 3 CPs on the course and finished just before the cutoff. Both Tecnu and CP0 cleared the course just before the cutoff.

1 AM
Mountain Biking race 6:18:00 [4] 17.78 mi (2.8 mph) +5098ft
Ride from HQ to the the TA in Ansted. First half was muddy OHV trails. We got severely lost and for a while I wasn't sure where we were. We ended up finding some paved roads and eventually determining where we were. We then rode the rest of the way on good trails and paved roads.
7 AM
Trail Running race 2:12:00 [4] 9.7 mi (13:36 / mi) +843ft 12:34 / mi
Straight foward run on forest roads over a ridge to the boat put in.
9 AM
Paddling race (Duckies) 2:16:00 [4] 8.84 mi (3.9 mph)
This was a tough paddle as all 3 of us were struggling to stay awake. Toby in back again with me in front and JP in a solo on tow.
12 PM
Trail Running race 5:13:00 [4] 14.31 mi (21:52 / mi) +2592ft 18:40 / mi
Trek from the take out back to our bikes at the TA in Ansted.
Started with a big climb. We were able to catch CP0 who was in front of us on the climb and then they dropped us on the descent. I was falling asleep as we climbed out of the river to the TA on the wide walking path.

7 PM
Mountain Biking race 14:44:00 [4] 74.83 mi (5.1 mph) +9455ft
This was definitely the crux of the race. We had a long bike back from Ansted to HQ. We travelled down the rail trail which was not smooth and then through Babcock State Park. Toby was having trouble staying awake and we stopped twice for quick 20 minute naps.
Towards the end of the bike we found ourselves forced to take a trail that dissappeared before we had to cross a reentrant to the road. Tecnu bailed early and battled a bigger reentrant. We pushed farther and crossed a smaller reentrant to the road but had significant more distance. We ended up pushing our bikes a total of 2 miles.

Trail Running race 2:40:00 [4] 10.74 mi (14:54 / mi) +2172ft 12:30 / mi
Trek from Cunard back to ACE HQ.
8 PM
Orienteering race 4:22:00 [4] 5.92 mi (44:15 / mi)
Had an interesting strategy choice. We were given UTMs for an Orienteering course. We could complete the OCourse now or at the end of the race. The biggest considerations was the Paddle window the next day. We didn't want to get there too early but didn't want to get there too late.
We got several CPs enough to guarantee we wouldn't get to the paddle early and left the rest for the end of the race. Had trouble with one CP.
