Boar AR
SPORT 3 Hour and ELITE 6 Hour Adventure Race
The boorish winds rolled in up to 20 mph on Saturday much like they did in 2012. The later it got in the day the more wild the winds were. Paddling in the Sport race was incredibly hard and biking in the afternoon was effected as well.
Despite all of that there were still some very impressive performances.
Nature Calls seemed unaffected and took the
Elite race with over a half-hour to spare.
Not Lost, Just Resting also cleared the course but finished a few minutes too late. The
Canyoneros made the podium for the first time and it was well deserved. And some regular Sport teams, the
Bitter Carnies and
Team BikeWorks / Team Gecko, rounded out the top five.
In the
Sport race, the conditions were definitely crazy. Along with that,
CP 4 on Foot,
CP 10 on Boat, and
CP 13 on the Bike were all Elite level controls. Two teams ultimately cleared the course but both suffered time penalties.
Pinnacle MobFit topped the leaderboard for the first time and
Cow Tipping Dwarfs continued their run of impressive finishes. Mostly newcomers to us,
Gone Squatchin' bested the
Out of Steam Punks for third by a minute.
At the end of the day the BOAR AR is getting the reputation as a very challenging sprint race. The unpredictable March weather always seems to come into play. Great effort by everyone and hopefully during the fast pace of the race you were able to witness some of the beautiful land that was around you.
Like always thank you to our sponsors
Travel Country for providing gift certificates for the Elite Race winners and the
US Air Force &
Marmot for their support. Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you all again real soon.
