Florida Sunshine AR

Tim from Green Paw did a great write-up of the Florida Sunshine, it is at

When we finished the long trek back to the bikes at morning 2 we were within 20 minutes of them, however we had mis-punched one control on the trek leading there, so even though we did not know it we were down one control.

The heat by that time had started to become a factor with all of us. The last orienteering leg was a slog-fest for us. Nobody could move faster than a medium walk and I decided to bail on the last orienteering control (we had 3rd place pretty much wrapped up at that point) so we did not risk going over time at the finish.

We all appreciate all the folks who appreciate these write-ups. I'd love to see more folks come out for the 30 hour race format - yes it is tough, but it is also doable. I hope the write-ups help everyone get prepared.

Also - the next race is the SCAR on Sunday. One team will be running a live feed of the race at http://www.runsinthewoods.com/?page_id=20 you'll be able to track them real time and view a twitter feed.
