Narrative by Linda Lindstrom
The Chase is a race comprised of 5 parts - a 5K
trail run, 15 mile mountain bike ride, 4.5 mile kayak, 22 mile road bike,
and another 5K trail run. Matt did the mountain bike ride and Chris
did the kayaking.
Teams and individuals
participate in the race. Matt and Chris' team was the first team to
finish; however, they finished 3rd overall. (They were defeated by
two men who did the race individually.)
Brian, my husband, did the
first trail run. He came in 11th. Matt brought the team into
4th place, and Chris brought them into 3rd place. Matt's two friends
held the team in 3rd place.
The entire race took over
four hours to complete, but there is so much activity going on, that the
time goes by quickly. The day was cool and rainy, and the trails
were very muddy (as can be seen by pictures of Matt). It was very
exciting to watch them have such a good race.
