This is the 5th cache in the Tough Mudder Challenge Series. CLICK HERE to find out more about this challenge. The caches in this series are intended to get you outdoors, having fun, encountering physical challenges, and enjoying different areas. Have fun and enjoy the series.
This isn't a triathlon, but you definitely might feel like a triathlete doing this cache. Boats, bikes, boots! This Tough Mudder cache will challenge your endurance and perseverance.
Similar to a triathlon, this adventure will start on the water. If you don't own a kayak, canoe or row boat, this is the point in the challenge when you make some quick calls to other cachers. Once you've completed this leg of your journey, pack up your boat and hop on your bike (so make sure you bring it). Multiple WPs will lead you to the final that requires a bit of hiking.
For some extra fun, feel free to time yourself from the time you set off until the time you sign into the log, and post your time in your log (the clock doesn't stop during transition times). However if you don't race against the clock, then I hope you will take the time to enjoy the sights and sounds of this nice area.
NOTES: The water can be quite shallow in some spots at times. It will likely be shallow where you put in, but then will get deeper. Please be very careful to not drop containers or wp slips when handling. This Tough Mudder cache will make you work for it, so just as a triathlete would, be sure to bring plenty of water. You are welcome to do this cache over multiple visits, but if you plan carefully you can do it in one continuous event, triathlon-style.
***Note added 5/21/18: WP1 may have been altered due to mother nature, and it will be a while before I can check on this. So if you are thinking of doing this cache, please message me and I will share with you the cords to WP 2 so you can go right to that and move along.
Please be sure to mention in your log the number you sign in on so I can credit you points during the challenge series. And take note of the Bonus Cache information inside the log book. (See Bonus Cache details on the Socky P Challenge web page.)
Congratulations to bristoltrekker for FTF!
