Condor

August 24th, 2007

In bed by 11pm!

Chesty set a great little task starting in the flatlands and finishing with a blisteringly fast ridge run perpendicular to the wind. A large ridge just before the turnpoint proved to make things interesting. Andrew and I managed to scrape over the top which set us up nicely for the final leg.

To top off such a fun race I also managed to snap some of the coolest in game shots I’ve taken.
