Bad Lasses 2
Justine Mojica, Ashlie Hood, and me

5:45
2nd, female division

This has become the race I do each year with people new to the sport. I coerced some of my BOD lasses, Ashlie & Justine, to join me this time for their first multi-sport event. Then last minute, Jackie & Carol joined also... this worked out well since both 2 and 3 person teams were allowed. We became Team Bad Lasses 2 & 3; BL#1 was Norma, Kate, and Lisa. The race was a rogaine, so once we started, it was up to us (or rather Me the navigator!) to decide our fate. The navigation itself wasn't difficult, but choosing how to get to each proved to be challenging. No Bike Zones dotted the course, and with no bush/bike wacking allowed, route choice was key. I think I could have evaluated things a bit better, as we ended being on our feet more than anticipated. We were close on our time, but we managed to sneak in to finish in 5hrs 45min with all checkpoints successfully tagged, making us 2nd & 3rd in the all-female division. Our truly badlassed gals #1 finished 1st, taking 4th overall (and whipping some boy booty).
