| AROC with Glenn and Mace
We had a really clean race by all accounts. Flirted with disaster trying to go down the wrong track for a short while, but Glenn took it to a new level trying to ride without a crank. Luckily it was right near the end. We came roughly 7th, 3rd mixed team. just behind 2nd mixed team. we were just a bit outclassed on the kayak, and on the miles of single track (fun, but not our strength). well done Stingers male team, won again. Stingers even got a mention in the Sun-Herald today, S section about 3 pages in. Check it out! | ||

Ran the whole race with Team Edmonton with Canada to win. The race included a scavenger hunt firsty to Soldier Field (home of the Bears), Fort Dearborn, make a pizza at Pizzeria Uno, Water Tower, Navy Pier then we had to find keys in the sand and then Ben had to swim in the freezing Lake Michigan, caught a train to Hubbard Woods Park after losing 1 hour going the wrong direction [to a black ghetto!], I did a trapeze jump (luckily nailed it first go), followed by a 25km bike ride back into town then a train ride out to Harvey [another black ghetto, one of poorest in US!] where we did landscaping for charity house, then a train ride back into town for an SAT exam (last place gets kicked out), another train to town for a pizza eating comp (this was 10 hours into the race and we had only had a chocolate bar up until now), we were allowed no food or money during the race so we had to beg to get any food or train tickets, after did a walking tour of chicago architecture, then EPSN centre for arcade games, then went tenpin bowling till 800 points (our highest score was 168), then a run and train to a golf course where we got about an hour sleep in the freezing cold at about 3am. Up at 4am for four holes of night golf, then a train to Rosemont for 22km of canoeing, then a run around Brookfield Zoo, followed by a suprise drive out to a SKYDIVING centre. We had to jump from 14,000 feet or be disqualified. This included a 60 second freefall of 9,000 feet. That is more than 3km falling in a minute i think!!! I was first of the plane and it was the scariest thing I've done and will never do it again (but at least I can say now I've done it). After this was the last checkpoint, we were still with Team Edmonton and completed a photo course around downtown Chicago then a run to some places till the finish line. We tied with Edmonton but they gave us the official WORLD CHAMPION title (those guys are legends). They got the 2 volvo cars. We got a free trip to any race next year which includes Canada, Lisbon, Paris, Singapore............. we ran quite a bit, but were probably only actively exercising for a bit less than half the time eventually there should be more details at: http://www.bellcitychase.com/championships.asp?nav... | ||
