Winteroba

Yumay and I competed in our second adenture race and had a good time at Winteroba... strangely enough only about 35 people showed up at the Hyak Lodge to race, maybe due to the missing snow and the rainy forecast... and it poured!
The race course was fun, taking us up towards Lake Kacheess, back over towards the gold creek valley, by Don Brooks house and the across Gold Creek via a tyrolean traverse.. we connected with Barry from ARGG (Dr. Strangelove) and together (him and I navigated) we got ourselves lost real good on the wrong mountain.... Yumay was already hypothermic and I thought she would have to pull out but she stuck it out and we finished in just under 8h.... learned from some mistakes (clothing, navigation, race prep) and I would do that race again, especially with Yumay.


This is what a checkpoint above Joel's head looks like....


Breakfast for champions....


Off we go...


ACTION!
