Race Details

First Adventure Race for Tom. Frank (old soccer buddy from UB turned Tom onto AR). The idea was that Tom would be the support crew to learn what AR is all about.  Tom had minor surgery 1 month prior to the race.  Tom felt it would be no problem since he was to act as support crew.  Tom could not workout due to the surgery. Tom was very nervous of the bike distance even with his big road cycling experience. Last minute Frank asked if Tom could race because one of their teammates dropped out. After massive contemplation, Tom decided to "GO FOR IT". Looking back as a team we did OK. The start night conditions were frigid, air temp about 32 degrees F and water temps also 32 degrees F.  Sat night cold wet canoe. Massive ice buildup on thighs from kayak paddle slop.  We decided to beech the canoes, build a fire, warm up and continue at dawn.  We slept about 2hrs. Missed time cutoff by about 2 hours. Decided to continue as far as we could.  The race organizers would not allow us to do the much anticipated zip lines.  During the final bike section Glenn major sick & bonk. Used radio, got picked up @ 34hrs.  Quite an experience for Tom's first AR.  To say the least he was hooked and the lifestyle of AR began.
