The Skinny:
This was supposed to be a nice little sprint race (advertised as 4-6 hours I think) that we decided to race as an all male team ... as you can see from finishing time, this ended up being a significantly longer race

Who Raced:
Scott Ash, Dan Drabinski, Jon Meyers and Richard Jensrud

Favorite Part:
Finishing ... this was just an absolutely brutal race, mostly because we had prepared ourselves for something significantly shorter and raced hard and fast from the beginning ... we also thought that we had fallen quite far back from other teams, and was pleasantly surprised when we rolled in and Adam told us we were the second team to finish

Least Favorite Part:
Watching our friends from Need To Bleed trying to recover from the heat and exhaustion on the side of the trail ... not a good feeling knowing that people are hurting that badly and not be able to stop to help since you are in the middle of the race

Funniest Moment:
Watching Dan jump in the lake with the better portion of an ant colony biting away at his back ... I know, could have been bad, but often that's exactly what's the funniest ... sorry Dan
