Jarad and Deanna put in some great performances in the 1st Anaconda Adventure Race placing 2nd and 3rd against some really tough competition.
Jarad went head to head with one of the all time greats of Adventure Racing, NZ Richard Usher. Jarad matched Richards times in each of the run legs, MTB legs and Paddle, but never quiet caught up a 4 minute deficit from the swim. Jarad said ” every time I tried to pull him back he responded. It was a great head to head battle all day long.” Jarad used both Perpetuem and Gels, which he said worked a treat.
Jarad went on to win the Go Natural Mulitsport Challenge the following week. Go and have a rest Jarad !
Deanna had to battle Nicole Rutland and the well known Ironman Karla Gilbert all day long. Still learning to paddle, she match them in all other legs to close the gap to finish 3rd.
Great job Jarad and Deanna.
