And a quick FYI - Out of 89 teams that started the race my friends at GCAR Moosejaw came in 52nd. These guys are awesome!

WOW!! I thought some of my tris were hard. I can't imagine finishing a race and then having someone tell me, "Oh, you have to climb 400 ft. up that wall before you get to the finish. Oh yeah, and then you have to paddle some more after that. Have fun!"

I admire all you adventure racers out there. Maybe after I do an Ironman, I'll play your game.
