| Ok, round two...if one time wasn't enough...here is my second adventure race in Sioux City, IA. Please read on for the just some "awesome" photos taken with our disposable Walmart cameras of Nic, Brian, Diane, and my 18 hour adventure race... |

| Brian and I at the pre-race meeting... |
|

| The canoes we had to carry at the start... |
|
||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||
| ...waiting... |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| Nic, Brian, Me, and Diane...ready to go! |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| GO! GO! GO! |
|
||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||
| And we are off with the canoe...up the hill...and then back down the other side... |
|
||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||
| Nic... |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| Woohoo...30 minutes into the race...let's see how long that smile stays on my face... |
|

|

|

|
|||||||||||||||||||
| We ran on grass, concrete, sidewalks, streets, and unpaved roads...for a little over 6 miles... |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| Not quite there yet... |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| ...now it is time to pick up our second canoe |
|
||||||||||||||||||
|
GO! GO! GO! |
|
||||||||||||||||||
|
Get in the canoe! |
|
||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||
| We had to pick up our second canoe and then drag them into the Missouri river...here is Nic again... |
|
||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||
| Hurry up Matt! (I suck at canoeing...blah!) |

TEAM #1 |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| After the first canoe...we had to hop on our bikes... |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| Getting dark outside... |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| Gotta find those check points... |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| ~9pm...transitioning from the bike to the orienteering section... |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| Hmmm... |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| Which way is North? |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| Oh man!...this stuff sucked...during the orienteering section we ventured into an area of low lying plants...well needless to say we didn't spend too much time in them as we sprinted, jumping over logs and rocks as our legs started to itch, burn, and sting...Luckily Diane had some hydrocortisone cream and that took away some of the itching and burning...Diane looked the plant up later after the race...she thinks is was "stingy nettles." |
|
||||||||||||||||||
| Woohoo...got a check point! |
