Jim Christiansen, John Compton, John Davison, and myself met up at Gunstock Resort in Gilford, NH for the 2007 Racing Ahead 24 hour adventure race. We placed 1st in our division, 4th overall in a field with some *very* tight competition!! That's despite two flat tires, a bent rear dérailleur, and some serious issues with chafing. (The last four hours on foot were excruciating for me. You have noo idea. From now on, vaseline is my friend.) Our navigation all race was pretty spot-on - in the night section alone we jumped from 10th to 4th place mostly because of our unusual route choice (hitting the toughest CP before sunset meant more total ascent but saved a lot of time) and very good night-time nav skills. Jim & I have raced together quite a few times, but this was our first time with John - he's a pretty amazing racer and navigator, so I hope we can race again.

Some statistics: 22 hours, 53 minutes total time and 11321 calories burned. 3:43 in canoe, 15 miles. 6:31 on bikes, 49.4miles and ascending 4480 feet. 12:33 on foot, ~17 miles, ~4700ft ascent. 18 teams started the race. 15 teams crossed the finish line. 7 teams got all 25 checkpoints. 3 teams dropped out or were not permitted to continue.
