The LighterKnot AR rolled through Flager County once again in 2013 and delivered another fun event for all the amazing adventure racers we love so much.
 
Race day was absolutely beautiful but the rainy conditions leading up to the race made for a muddy ride for most and upped the challenge significantly. Our teams stepped up like always and a great deal cleared it.

 
Let's get to the Action!
 
In the Elite, the boys are back in town. Florida Xtreme/ US Air Force came back and ran a flawless race. Their time was incredibly impressive and represents perpetual forward motion. Honey Stinger, top Coed Premier, did make a mistake and it knocked them down near the bottom of the standings. They made an incredible comeback though for second overall. Florida Xtreme/ Hunter continues to impress and improve with their first time on the podium. RinkSide Sports and Team BikeWorks / Team Gecko also cleared the course and round out a very competitive Elite field for the day.

Onto the Sport, we actually started 15 minutes early because we knew the challenge would be great. So on the Leaderboard, penalties don't start until 3:15:01. Even still the Cow Tipping Dwarfs didn't need the extra time of course. These guys are on a roll. That wasn't on the map was the only other team to clear under three hours. Pinnacle MobFit was right in the hunt like always but were just a bit off. Risky Business, top Coed Premier, continued their strong push in 2013. The Other Orlando Hash House Harriers and Special Ed also cleared the couse and deserve big praise for that.
 

The race was designed again by Craig and John Sheriff from the team Sheriff's Posse. These guys spent a lot of time developing this course and added on the extra challenges to keep things interesting for you. They also created the sweet lighterknot wooden trophies. Great job all around guys!

Big thanks to Flagler County for the use of their land and thank you all again for coming here and having fun with us outdoors. It is always a pleasure and we look forward to seeing you next time for another brand new venue at the Turkey Burn AR.
