Merrell did it again. They put on the most fun urban adventure race around, and we took second again this year! A brief summary of the race....
Stop #1: Bike to Lone Fir Cemetary... just another Saturday, cruisin' through the cemetary on our bikes searching for 2 particular headstones to take photos with...
Stop #2: by foot (or public transportation) go to the zoo and find the volunteer for further instructions. At the zoo we ran around to trying to find answers on the info boards of 6 different animals to get the answer to the puzzle at the bottom of the sheet! and then back downtown.
Stop # 3: by foot go to the Smokin' pig food cart, eat the pork without utensils and you will get your next clue!
Stop #4: From the smokin' pig we run to Bally's and between the three of us have to burn 150 calories on cardio equipment and back to the transition area for the next clue!
Stop #5: back on the bike and over the river again to the Portland rock gym where we completed a balance walk, a lovely rope swing and a section of bouldering where we found the address of the next stop at the end.
Stop #6: which was at Deschutes brewery! We raced back across the river on our bikes and our master beer pong champion, Melissa, took care of business! There were 3 cups, 2 of which she got on the 1st try! So Kelley and I are downing our 6 oz of beer while Melissa gets the final one done... Back on the bike and racing back to Pioneer Courthouse Square to cross the finish line!
So much fun!! we already have the date of next year's race on our calendars :) :)
