It was a six hour adventure race that included running, mt. biking, and kayaking. The best way I can explain what an adventure race is…it’s like a scavenger hunt with a topographic map. Shawn is by far the Navigator of the bunch…but I’m learning a lot! We started down town Reno then biked and ran all over Peavine mountain…my favorite part is when Shawn said, “it will be quicker to carry our bikes on our back up up up and over these hills”…I wish we had a picture of that…unfortunately there are no pictures of that part of the race.
Lucas is the best because he stood around and watched the whole thing!
Lucas screen printed our Team Jersey’s “Bio-Fuel Kills Orangutans.” What a cute little baby!
