  • Comments: In the 5 years of them putting on this race, this was the hardest it's ever been. Between the heat and the increased quantity and harder CP locations; it just took way longer. Normally the winning team in the 12-hr finishes in 8-9 hours; not this year. There were a number of racers from all divisions and races who DNF'd from the heat. Adventure Racing is not for everyone. You have to be indifferent to discomfort and not be put off by hardship. That said, once you complete one of these, especially a tough one, the accomplishment is very fulfilling. (Even more so when writing about it a week later after you've recovered sufficiently.) We ate a huge breakfast, collected our winner's trophies and prizes, struck camp, and hit the road for Timothy's home in San Antonio for a shower, a nap, and that beer we'd skipped out on the night before.
