The Skinny:
A fun little race, that a few of us decided to do in an effort to support our only DFW Metroplex based race promoters (check them out at www.teamxperience.com)... which turned into a great race, where we pushed ourselves harder and faster than we might've ever done before

Who Raced:
Scott Ash, Chip Lynch, Wendy Strain and Richard Jensrud

Favorite Part:
We looked around a little for the first CP on the kayak/trek leg and it seemed like every team caught up with us and ruined any position we might've created for ourselves after the trail run ... however, we then proceeded to hit the next two trekking points fast and without any hesitation ... leading us to depart in our kayaks for the next trekking section way ahead of any team behind us ... this is the lead we maintained through the end

Least Favorite Part:
"The leaning canoe" ... Wendy and Richard ended up in a canoe that insisted on leaning severely to the right ... I think we were both sitting on the left railing of the boat, and the canoe was still tipping right ... made for a rather unproductive paddling effort

Funniest Moment:
...

Place:
1st
