4th Dimension Adventure Race Results

Our first "Mind Over Mountain Team" race together went pretty well. We went down to Washington State to do a 4-7hr Winter Adventure Race. Really is was just running and snowshoeing. We finished with a 2nd place, behind Dart-Nuun (a well respected fully sponsored USA national team). We would have actually been up close to finishing with them if we didn't get off track on our navigating so much. So it was great to know our teams fitness is not bad !! The navigating was actually pretty technical, there were a lot of beginner teams out there and they were getting extremely lost, and many teams didn't finish. Some teams were still looking for Checkpoint 3 when we had finished - there were 19 checkpoints, poor people !! The race started with me losing one of my gloves in the first 5mins, then about 15mins into it we jumped a creek, my foot got soaked in freezing water, but after that it was all good !!
