Red Bluff Tehema Extreme
After getting the maps we had 30 secs to study them before the race start. Short bike ride on fireroad.
Drop bikes, run down hill to 2 cps, easily located but one on the far side of knee deep creek. Back to bikes. Hike a bike up big rock strewn hill, jon towing.
Cp at top, down to river level, cross creek at trail- unfortunately water is chest high on j, k swimming for first time.
Get to boats ahead of Ian's team. Blow up rafts. 15 mins downriver, very fast current.
Long run- up to first cp on top of hill, jon and ian adamson working together on nav, then down across creek fast flowing. K swims again,
with maps.
Run back to river- beautiful wildflowers, j carrying everything, and towing.
Back on bikes, pick up a couple of cps and then 3 mile bike race w/ Ian Adamson team. Flat out. J&K cross line before all of ian's team for 1st place (2 person), 3rd overall.
