Adventure Sprint Race

Ron still does some mapping for races in town, something he really enjoys.   One of the races was this Sunday-a sprint adventure race.  It is a race that has some fun activities/tasks to complete and then a Bike/Run/Bike section and it is set up for teams of two.  Ron and Brayden decided it would be a fun race to do together.  I think Brayden was a little nervous for the beginning as no one really knew what the tasks were going to be.  It was pretty funny to watch their faces when they were told one of the tasks to complete was to jump in a pool to get a dive ring from the bottom.  

 And they are off!  About 30 teams competed.

 The first dive Brayden found no dive sticks....turned out not enough were in the pool and more needed to be thrown in.  He ended up diving in again and beating a bunch of adults treading water looking as well.

 Off and running to find more of the hidden five locations needed before starting the biking portion of the race.  Every team had a punch card...need to collect punching along the entire race route to complete/finish.

 The pool, and sling shot were among the initial tasks to be completed.  A zip line was also a task  but they had advised teams that they could complete this task after the first biking leg...to prevent back-up.  Sad to say they closed a bit early and Ron and Brayden were unable to ride the zip line.

 The kids and I had fun finding them along the trail at Turkey MT.  Thankfully Ron had mapped the route making it a little easier.  We were their aid station along the trails-although I think James drank more Gatorade than Ron and Brayden combined!

 It was a beautiful Sunny Sunday, not too bad spending most of it outdoors.  The kids had fun playing around at the YMCA-the start/finish.

 Brayden was all smiles-I think Ron looked more warn out, although he did his share of work on the trails..pulling up both bikes when they couldn't ride up.

 Out of the woods and off to the finish together...what a great team!

Five hours total, 20miles combined biking/running!  Way to go boys!!
