The battle continued as ARC and Big Fish Creative slugged it out for a great day of racing at Saguaro Lake. While Big Fish needed to finish to win the series, Adventure Racing Concepts kept the pressure on and finished strong with a 28 minute lead at the end of the day. Few finishes have been so fun to see unfold as they jockeyed for the lead throughout the day. It came down to a final route choice decision where ARC went "overland" through 7 or 8 basin's and ranges to get to the final hill climb.
The overall win went to team Boat Anchor as Tim and Bob edged out ARC by a minute with a final run to the finish with soloist Michael Bading in the mix all day too.
In the 3/4 person Male Division team Madness (Orange) finished right at the cutoff time of 9 hours and wins the series.
The recreational division saw Freddie and Rob of team "Denial" finish in 4:38.
After the race team Yoga Slackers (3rd in 3/4 Coed Long Course) kept us all entertained with some incredible Yoga moves on a slackline that many of us compared to seeing Cirque De Solei at Butcher Jones Cove!
Big thanks to our volunteers: Debra, Lisa, Tisha, Peggy, and Deb Lusk our WFR. You made it possible!
