For the most part, my contribution was to successfully slow Bill down to a walking pace. …
We made two expensive mistakes the first day which cost us almost an hour, and we ended up being half an hour late. This lost us 60 points. The toll on our bodies was more significant as we struggled to minimize the loss. Bill’s blisters made it obvious that he hadn’t quite broken in his shoes. We did however manage to find all markers that we attempted.
Bill shined at night. I also shined, but it was because I had a bike headlight which was able to light up the reflective markers from a long ways away! Once again, we set moderate goals, and found all markers which we attempted. …
We were good on the final day too, again, hitting all markers which we could. The final 2 kilometers AFTER the finish line were really tough, trudging along the road. The meal and awards were well worth hanging around for. …
Pretty good considering how OLD they are.
