| The Wild Scallion was any of our first adventure race. After running it, I can say that it was much harder than I was expecting. All in all, though, it was a blast. We started out running, then climbing up and down 40 flights of stairs, running some more (sometimes in chest deep water. After running ~6 miles we transitioned to the biking. Most of the course consisted of road riding, although there were a few miles of off-road. After hitting the transition site up again, it was time for one team member to bike, one to roller blade, and one to ride a razor scooter...otherwise known as the Triad. This is where teamwork comes into play! After the ~ 4 miles of triad it was just a short orienteering course and we were done... 6 hours 45 minutes and 5 seconds after we started! Unfortunately, since I was racing, I didn't get to take too many pictures. I do have a couple though.... hopefully I'll have more from the next race.... there WILL be a next race! |
