Still trying to my head to a place to make an objective look at the race. Nice to have a ranked full mandatory (no short course) finish under the belt, but our efforts were fraught with such terrible execution as to be embarrassing. 85 minute error to first CP? At least I learned a lot.
Tied for 12th with Shane, who was in our party for the race, out of twenty teams.
