We just had a great weekend in Squamish for race #1 for the Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race Series. With it's new location of Squamish made it by far a smoother weekend then the 3 we went to on the island last year. But I do have to say, our "Team Giddy Up" last summer did have some eventful fun stories and experience getting to the MOMAR races on the island last year - it was a little sad not to be racing with the normal crew of Lina, Adrian, and Nick ......... I do miss you guys and our funny stories !!
Anyhow - we couldn't have asked for nicer weather ....... finally. Up until a few days out I was racing solo, but then teamed up with Adam. We had what we thought at the time, an interesting start of going the opposite way to 80% of the racers in the first trek/navigation section, to find that all in all we didn't really loose much time. The bike killed me, but after looking at the times the next day, we did pretty good for ourselves, beside Adam being out of sight the second the single track started !! I made him slow down on the climbing otherwise he would have been out of sight on that too !! The second trek was another grewling hike up and up and up hill. Had a short repel in there and then a suburban navigation to the finish, where our math skills didn't help us in the slightest !! Oh and we managed to pull in a 1st Place for team of 2 co-ed and 10th overall out of about 100+ teams, so not a bad weekend.
