The Hacienda Casino was the start line, nestled in the desert mountains
Bringing in the gear a day before the race start, with team Too Cool Racing
Awaiting our turn at the early morning prologue race
Analyzing the prologue race map
And we're off!
Arriving back after the cancelled (!) prologue
Packing the bikes in John's wonderful hand-crafted bike boxes
Awaiting the start of the main race
And we're off (again) on the main race course, as the first team released out of the casino
At the end of the first monster trek leg. We were one of only four teams that managed to complete this entire leg.
Putting the bikes away after the bike leg
Dave studying the map for the second trek leg
Marcy not worn down at all by this race
Finishing up the final paddle
We made it!
Group shot after Bob drove us back to the casino
Now this team knows how to climb up rock faces
Packing everything up for the trip back home
With the race director
Watching the awards ceremony
We earned 3rd place overall out of 11 teams
