Redwing 12 Hour

What a few days can do for the mind (and body). Okay...I don't think anyone on the TMMAR would disagree that Saturday's race was a huge dissapointment with a 4th place finish. Each of us were pumped and ready to compete.



I won't go into the days details but we started off fairly strong and left the first TA in second place. Our major struggles took place on the second set of orienteering where spent three additional hours of CP hunting up and down the bluffs of RedWing. What should have taken 2 hours ended up taking nearly five. Those extra three hours depleted most of our water and food which led to a couple of us (yours truely) coming close to bonking.
After a quick pit-stop on the road to 'borrow' some water from a few hoses attached to the friendly residences of RW we were back on the path to finish.
Following a short single track, gear inspection we were off to the last leg of orienteering with a short traverse and 80 foot rapell and then back to HQ for the finish and post race BBQ.

Try It!
