Theories abound during our many discussions, about the order in which we'll have to perform our activities during the Quest for A Cure. It's very interesting to see how things played out last year, here. In terms of order it was Run-Bike-Canoe-Ascent/Zipline-Orienteering/Rappel-Canoe/(swim?). Interesting that it looks like the biggest hangup wasn't the bike or canoe, but the Ascent/Zip line and the Orienteering/Rappel, at about 3-5hrs (in one case nearly 12 hrs, ouch!).
Training log:
Yesterday we did a 9k snowshoe here. Or rather a little west of here, between Lac Brown and Chemin Carman. (I can't get it to centre there on this map, but you can grab the map and see what's to the west of it.

Welcome to Just Add Water - Team JAW
What: http://www.questforacure.ca/24info.html
Who : Paul, Hai, Tracy, Mel, Lucy, Darrel and Blake = "Just Add Water - Team JAW"
Course: 120km, 24 hours starting at 16:00 (4pm) Saturday June 21st. Race elements include Mountain Biking, Hiking, Orienteering, Canoeing, Rappelling, Zip-Lines. UTM grid for all navigation. Just map and compass. No GPS allowed.
So far, that's all we know. Course details won't be released until 12 noon on race day. Check-in and race start will be located at the Fairmont Chateau Montebello, so at least we start in style, anyway.
Our goals are to have fun, and try to finish the race. None of us has ever done a full 24 hour adventure race before, but we're keen to try.
So we're training - kind of. We do something on Wednesday nights, and something on Sundays. So far we've clocked approx 5 km last Wednesday evening (2.5 hrs), and approx 8 km snowshoe/hike on Sunday (4 hrs). I know I know, we've got a lot of training ahead of us!
