The race started with a 12 mile paddle around Fiesta Island, out to the Bell Buoy over to Sail Bay and back to DeAnza cove.
Their run was in daylight which made finding points much easier. Then off for our march through Tecolote Park. Speaking of the homeless, part 2.
Sorry I had to run off so fast, but my husband was waiting for me.
There were 57 racers on 28 teams.
So be careful, those homeless can be good witnesses. Also, we (Team Equinox) are working on our own web site for sometime in 2007, but we will still use SCARABS, Adventure Race Reports and Sleepmonsters to get the word out.
Racers could split up for the O, they could use bike, boat, swim or run to get the points (but bikes were restricted and not much use in the daylight).
At 5 PM, in the darkness, we took away the bike restriction which allowed the O to be done on bike rather than on foot.
It was a long day, but there were smiling faces at the end so we consider it a successful day.
Kristen Francis and Jake Bencke gave up 9 hours of their birthday to run this race. We came across a couple more nice single tracks and up a little hill to B4.
The bike course went up San Clemente Canyon and then on the narrowest of trails under Hwy-52 and I-805 over to the landfill area. They came down from LA to see what it was all about.
If you missed the trail you likely curved round to be under the power lines directly east of B3. Not too steep and hilly and nice and smooth dirt. While Josh swam to the small island Veronica grabbed a couple of other points.
Easy answer, that is all we have as far as topo maps go. Kristen Francis and Jake Bencke gave up 9 hours of their birthday to run this race. We may not have hiked as fast if I would have known that, but it kept us moving. (1) The pre-race meeting told you about 2 gates into the nursery. For those who had problems with B3, we have left the marker out there.
