Our task committee took a look at the weather last night and collectively decided it was time to go big. For the Pros a 103 km task was set from the Koosharem valley up onto the Fish Lake High top and all way to Castle Dale, but on the way they have to top land on the escarpment at the east end of the plateau, something we’ve looked at for years but never had the weather to support. Our Adventure crew has the same start but their goal is just a little shorter in Emery and our Challenge group has an awesome task down to land on the shores of Fish Lake, a beautiful challenging cross country flight up and over the Fish Lake high top where the fall colors are ablaze.
Our first three Adventure athletes (John Kear won the day just before Lee Patzer and Sarah Crosier, who crushed once again in 3rd place. She’ll have a comfortable overall lead going into day three tomorrow) have just made goal in Emery at 1445 and are reporting that it was ON like Donkey Kong. It’s Richard Pumpington out there folks, things are moving fast. Tune into the Live Tracking to watch all the action.
Meanwhile in Pro goal we await our first arrivals. Currently Stephen Guyette who won day 1 is WAY out front. Can he maintain his lead?
