Anwatin Tri-Teams getting ready for an adventure race
Today we tried a new form of adventure racing with the TRi-Team crew. The trails behind the school were mapped with about a dozen pick-up or drop zones for tasks they had to complete in pairs. The trick was that teams didn’t know which location corresponded to a given task until they ran the course. Just some of the things they needed to accomplish:
- inflate a balloon and tie it with a ribbon (from two separate locations)
- empty a water bottle and refill with blue water + yellow water to return a green bottle
- complete a math problem and return with it
- empty a tube of rice and fill it with bird seed
- find a bib and medal and wear them to the finish
It was fun to see how long it took each team and how they worked together to get all of the tasks done. Here are the unofficial results:
- Chancy and Ryan “The Best Team” 30:11
- Damion and Brad “Cookies& Cream” 34:35
- Kieran and Parrish “The Stars” 39:03
- Matt and Levi “M&L” 41:00 **
**a couple of the drop/pickup zones mysteriously were hidden or disappeared before this team could find them. A young hiker may be enjoying the bucket of rubber balls right about now…
Tri-Loppet brochures were handed out today. We’d love to have everyone sign up for this fun event on June 27th. Kids can do one leg of the race or all three, and there is no charge. We’ll have boats and mountain bikes available for them. It would be great to have a couple of teams from Anwatin! You can check out further details on the Tri-Loppet at: www.Tri-Loppet.com
