Baja Travesia 2008
Day 5: Two more teams out of the canyon and passing the hot springs TA this morning
Jacqueline Windh / 28.03.2008
Day 5, 10amAs the rising sun started to illuminate the craggy mountain peaks surrounding our canyon, Kayak Lake Mead strolled out of the bush looking like a troop of day-hikers. We’d heard horror stories of them not looking so goo, but they looked just great. In fact, they are the only team who’s come through that didn’t even sit down – they just stood around chatting, munched on some pizza and looked at maps.
“It must be the six-hour sleep we had at the last TA,� said Amy. It’s amazing what a good sleep will do on a race like this – a very good example for people to remember when entertaining thoughts of quitting on a big race.
They were soon on their way on the bikes, and then around 9am Goldrush Motherlode/Racing with Giants hiked in, also looking good and strong, but definitely ready to see the finish line.See All Event Posts
