How super cool that this event was literally spitting distance from my dad's house. I recognized the orange/white checkered awning on the restaurant in the background near the start. Awesome!! I will have to pay attention and see if I can come cheer or volunteer next time. I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle adventure racing, but hey - 2nd place female would look good in a race report!TriMOEngrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263218066341525194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901742418169240469.post-1021634752578357822011-03-21T14:30:30.573-05:002011-03-21T14:30:30.573-05:00SUPERKATE!?!?!?

Is he caught up? Of course not. But he has made huge gains compared to where he was and he is eager, focused and working hard. And he is on a very strict behavior plan - believe me he's no angel although he is a sweetie and I love him!ajhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851129364728161965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901742418169240469.post-66441405486879593982011-03-18T18:58:08.030-05:002011-03-18T18:58:08.030-05:00I can't believe you did this amazing adventure...I can't believe you did this amazing adventure race the day after your more than 20 miler!!!
