Yesterday I did my first adventure race. A partner and I went down to a small race south of Houlton, and it was sweet! We did orienteering, mountain biking, canoeing, and rock climbing, and although we had a bit of bad luck, we still had a lot of fun. We made a bit of a detour during the orienteering, and my teammate broke his derailleur during the biking leg. Luckily, the organizers eventually found a spare bike for him to use to finish the leg.
If we hadn't had the derailleur issue, we would have won the biking leg, and we had the third fastest paddling time, which was pretty awesome. I had a really good time exhausting myself, and I can't wait to do it again!
In other news, I am officially a pro athlete (a poor one, but a pro none-the-less). I've moved to Caribou for a couple weeks, and I'll probably move to Presque Isle soon. It was very hard to leave Madawaska. It definitely holds a place in my heart, but it had to happen. Just so you all know, if you need to mail me anything now, send it to 552 Main Street, Caribou, ME 04736. That's the address at the MWSC office, and I'll be able to get all my mail there from now on. I was allowed to keep my phone number, so (207) 227-3843 is still the number to dial.
I miss you all, and can't wait to see some of you this summer.
Love and Adventures,
Toast
