We got a look at what may be the format for the 2008 USARA Nationals race, this past weekend. Lots of variables and many logistical choices. The following is our strategy...To put it in context, check the other reviews and descriptions at www.trailblazerar.com
The format allowed teams to split up to retreive CPs in any order they wished...Choosing any mode of transportation required by your route choice...
"We biked instead of paddled...After 3, I ran for 7,6,5 and 4, while Michelle and Chris got our bikes ready...Then we all rode to 9 (getting 8 on the way) where I dropped the bike and ran for 10 and 11 while they rode my bike back around...They also took everything except my pfd across the lake while I was running...so, unfortunately, I had to run for 12 as well...oops...A quick swim across the lake and I re-joined them at the boat to ride to 14 and 15. We took the Green Mtn. trails...Chris descended fast and got 14...we plotted 16 and he bushed out to it quickly...Then we rode to the marina for 15...We got off the bikes in 3rd...and were promptly run down by CP02...We limped our way in for 4th...Hard day. "
