OK - so it was going to be a hot day. 105 heat index. At 8 AM the elite teams lined up and headed for a nice wet and muddy trek to the boats. Picking up a few CP's they paddled a few miles over to another wet and muddy trek section for a little orienteering, and then a paddle back.
Meanwhile the sport course racers were lining up at 11 Am for their start. They went to the same CP that the elite team's went for and then onto the hidden path and the mudwalk. I was proud to see my girls (Team Daddy's Girls) as the second team to come off the mudwalk - woo-hoo. I also saw some elite teams (Bill Jacksons and Shake-a-Leg Miami) in the mudwalk.
Both groups headed out for a little single track biking. Unfortuntely this was where my daughter won best blood - hitting a submerged barrel and giving herself a few stitches (video of that coming later). The remainder of Dadyy's Girls forged on to finish the race.
The top 2 elite teams Bill Jacksons and SAL Miami made a real race of it.
Highlights of the race, Single track biking, the mudwalk, a really cool paddle section, and a pretty shady course protecting racers from the gueling heat. Good job to all who finished in the race. Youngest racer today was - 7 years old - awesome. Anyway enjoy the little movie I put together as see you out there later. Make sure you check out the photos at
