Definitely an Adventure

The Adventure Race on Saturday was definitely an interesting time. Lindsay and I spent Friday evening buying supplies that we needed for the race. We decided that spending the night in a yurt on Friday would not be cool, so we got up at 5:00AM on Saturday morning in order to get to St. Paul Indiana by the 7:00 check-in time. Whoa....that sucked.

The race itself was pretty cool. It consisted of:

• Walking (or running if you're hard-core) through this small town to gather a bunch of clues.


• Riding our bikes for 16 miles on country roads to gather more clues.


• An archery event (I did pretty OK with the targets)


• Canoing, which consisted of us having to get out into the water and carry our canoe over a rocky portion in the river


• Mountain biking for a few miles gathering more clues


• Jogging through the woods getting the final clues, which Lindsay and I opted out of

Oh yeah, and there was a climbing event, too.....but they had the climbing event after 16 miles of biking and Lindsay and I weren't feeling it. Had the climbing event been before the ride, I would have been all over it. Needless to say, Sunday I sat on my ass all day and did nothing except recuperate.
