Well I did end up finishing the race in time…the cut off was 3 hours…I finished in (about) 2hours 10minutes. I believe the best time was 1hour 37 minutes…..which is screaming fast. I’m not sure if I made the top ten or not as the standings have not been posted yet….I hope so, but I expect that I finished outside my top 10 goal.To be honest I was thrilled to just find all the mystery points and make it back in safe….which is more than I can say for my riding partner…10 minutes into the ride he and another rider tangled and they both went over the handlebars. Yeiks! I was able to avoid the crash but both of them were pretty banged up….
As for the physical challenges, there was lots of three wheel action with a micro tricycle slalom, a bigwheel race track (good for powerslides), a tricycle newspaper toss in which my partner needed to catch three of my rolled up papers in a box, large inflatable floating ducks to ride into the lake and around a buoy (in full gear: shorts jerseys shoes socks…), wooden nickels to pick up with oven mitts while being assaulted with super-soakers, a bicycle limbo, inflatable obstacle course and who could forget the single wheel with posts on each side which I needed to hang on to while my partner held my feet and ran me around cones…(ouch that was really hard)….oh and 30 miles of riding through the city on my trusty steed.
And through it all my Garmin GPS60Cx did not let me down!
In all it was a tough event and I loved every minute of it…Oh and the best part: There is an Earthcache 100 feet away from the finish line!
p.s. My phone a friend didn’t answer his phone.
