We landed in 4th place in the mixed masters category! Well done team! Everyone on the team made it happen! It cant go without mentioning that HPR had TWO teams in this race, which speaks to how much we love to race. It was so nice to have another team there.....because the race is so spread out you would have been alone in a crowd of other people you didn't know, what was really great is that each stage had another HPR'r that you could chat with while waiting for your turn to go. Both teams did great and I think we may have even generated enough interest for a third team next year!!!!
Every stage had a story that made it special....from the down hill ski that made you climb up a hill in your ski boots before coming down, the crazy x-cross country/downhill exchange, the down hill running that was more that a little steep....over 12% grade at times! The mountain bike started calm and easy then they hit you with a super technical section that singled out people for sure.....they kayak had a obstacle course to go through, the bike (well lets just say that mark crushed it!) and the canoe went off into a wicked head wind!
All to finish by running up the boat ramp to ring a bell to get your beer tickets!!!
What a great time......lets do it agin next year!!! Here is a little slide show of the activities, including a few video moments during the event and of course the all important finish!!! Hope you enjoy!
Til next time Happy chatting.......
