ARWS Expedition racing returned to Tasmania this week with the Legends Expedition race. RD Chris Dixon's course gave teams a little bit of everything, including beautiful paddles, epic bike sections and challenging late race high points with some added weather excitement.
The three all-women teams, Wonkey Donkeys, Mountain Designs Wild Women, and Rootstock Racing all finished in the top 10 with full course finishes.
