Team Ragged Glory – Adventure Racing, Multi Sport, Friends

Thanks to Michael, Debbie and the Indy Rootstock clan for another fine chapter in a great race. That sneaky Sapper held an orienteering prologue the night before and made it sound like we’d be paddling from New Horizon at 4:30 the next morning, starting one boat per minute in the order of prologue finishing results. His wording, however, made us think that he was going to transport us. Sure enough, the buses were waiting and we were taken to 238 and Fall Creek for a in-and-out of the boat paddle on Fall Creek before it enters Geist. There was plenty of land nav and country biking. Bob, Nancy and I(Doug) finished 11th overall out of 54 teams. We were also awarded some poison ivy and nettle scrapes. Is our reputation as middle-of-the-pack team in jeopardy? Unlikely.
