orienteering race 1:03:00 [5] 5.0 mi (12:36 / mi)
Minneapolis City Solve Urban AR.
Loop out to Uptown and back. About 8 CP's with TONS of bonus/side clues challenges throughout route. Lots to keep straight in the head. Every team we talked to took the bus both ways. We ran there, and took the bus back.
Similar race and results to last week, although there were lots more teams. They said about 160 2-4 person teams. Second place was about 7 minutes back, 3rd 15 minutes back, average team in about 3 hours. Eric and I worked well together, and although we had a few near miss steps, we put together another solid day.
We race for the $5,000 mega-prize in three weeks at the Salvation Army "Most Amazing Race". Today's prize was $300.
Fun to race well with Eric again, good stuff!
