Marathon

---

Today was the driving marathon, and with an early morning rain things got off to a slippery start. Obstacle 1 was a tough and tight little course, and Team Bouncer had a tough time with it. After taking a hard turn through, the carriage slid and Suzy's navigator was knocked off the back. Unfortunately, this resulted in a 10-point penalty, but the good news is that Bouncer and Suzy were not injured. Claudia endured two cracked ribs but being the trooper that she is, continued on with the marathon, which is pretty amazing! They made several great times in most of the other hazards. Team Bouncer was in 9th place overall in single pony after the marathon.

Miranda "Randi" Cadwell of the US team won gold in the marathon for pony pairs, and the US team was in 4th place overall at the end of the day. Way to go, Team USA!

After a long day out at the event, we ended the evening with the driver's party, and then it was off to bed, in anticipation of the cones precision course the next day.
