MOMAR was one of the craziest, funnest and hardest things I have ever
done. It started with a kayak on Comox lake, then we transitioned to
trekking/running/mountain climbing :)
I learned very quickly that the shortest route is not the easiest (I
think we climbed the same hills three times, on different trails) On e
we completed that leg of the race it was on to mountain biking. Stress
the word MOUNTAIN!!! What a blast once you were able to actually ride
your bike. Lots of fantastic trails that I would love to do again. From
there we moved on to orienteering. I can't tell you much about that
stage as we were completely mentally and physically exhausted and tried
to skip it. We had 30 min left until cutoff time and thought we might
get lost as we had no experience in this field, but the race director
encouraged us to get a least a few done and even helped us out with the
map. They made the "newbies" feel at ease right from the start.
Explaining exactly what to do and to have fun. No worries there, we had
lots of laughs along the way. Then home to shower and off to the banquet
and after party. Dinner was good and the after party, well you know how
the saying goes ...what happens on the mountain stays on the mountain.
You will have to come to find out :). Definitely a test of mental and physical endurance. I can't wait to do it again next year. Wanna come?
