MedWAR 2010, we finished 1st, in 5 hours and 30 minutes. In fact, so fast there was no one at the finish line to cheer us in because no one expected anyone to finish for another 20 minutes. After 15 miles of running, 4.5 miles of Mtn biking, about 2 miles of canoeing and numerous medical senarios and questions we were burning down the competition. Fun as it was I think I would be better fit for a regular adventure race sans medical senarios and questions. After it was all said and done we finished 4th in the standings because we missed too many questions, how deflating. Way to go team, I still think crossing the finish line 1st is a bigger accomplishment than knowing random facts about medicinal plants and poisonous sea creatures. Oh well, I know that to be competitive in adventure racing I need to keep training, so back to the grind...
