SOB Team Adventure Race

17 SOBs answered the call to think, team and work in the SOB Team Adventure Race. Since we split into teams and separately raced to 7am, sound off stories in the comments below.

Here’s what we did:

The Thang:

We counted off randomly into teams of 3 (1 team of 2) and YHC distributed an AO map with the designated Checkpoints and Exercises marked on the map.

The instructions were as follows.

We are doing an SOB team adventure race.

There are 30 checkpoints on the map provided, no team is expected to hit all checkpoints. The completion of a checkpoint is worth 1 point.

All teams must stay together and all guys must complete the required exercise individually to receive a point.

If you get confused about a checkpoint, do you best to follow instructions and move on.

Meet back at The Vine at 7am and don’t be late.

Talk with your team, strategize your route and go. Team with the most points or checkpoints completed wins!

COT

Moleskin:

I wanted to try something different at Stonehenge this week. I put a lot of thought into the plan and the map and took a chance on a different type of workout. Since I wasn’t with all teams, I’m asking each team to add stories in the comments below about your team during the race.

Winning Teams (tie) – Team 1 (Mighty Mite, Heartbreaker and Outback) and Team 6 (Big Tuna, Market Timer and YHC)

Lesson learned – If we do another adventure race in the future, distribute the map and checkpoints a few days in advance so the PAX can prepare.

Announcements:

Family Hike & Picnic– January 23rd at noon at anne springs greenway

Football Game Sunday 1/10 at Indian Land High School

F3 di Vinci launches next Saturday at Blakeney at 7am. Stonehenge will last from 6am-6:45 for double down opportunity.

Well put together MT. Thanks for the bike I really enjoyed getting out for the first time in 3 weeks. Being injured sucks. Mic Check was a beast today we couldn’t keep up with him. In order to save his legs I believe Haggis completed 500 Merkins, with impeccable form as usual.
