Good job! can you tell us a little about the format of the race. Was it on the road or off road and how the team thing worked. I love to race with my wife and the Caribbean part really makes it interesting.

Ken,
80-90% of the race is offroad, on a varity of terrain from muddy lagoon edges,rocks, bleached coral did I mention muddy trails. The Road sections are fast and hilly.

The format is teams of two rides start together and have to finish tgether if not the Elapsed time of the last rider counts.
Here you have a link to event pictures and some more data.
