Last Saturday was the adventure race that mom did with a couple of friends. She didn't really know what to expect and it was definitely hard but fun too! We were team Perseverance II and it was all friends from church and bible study. 4 people had to be doing the race at one time so we switched off at different check points. Here we are - all smiles now (mom is second from the right)!
Getting ready to start!
Waiting at the first check point to switch off on the bike. We did the more "mountain biking" part of it but it wasn't too bad. There was one creek crossing where you had to get off your bike and walk through because it was too slippery.
The teams had to carry sandbags up and down the hill. Mom got lucky to only have to carry it downhill!

The rafting by far was the hardest. We never got our rhythm down and it made for a long 1.25 miles. I was so happy to trade out and let the other girls row the other part!
Carry our raft to the finish line! Tara (in the red) was supposed to be on our team but she broke her wrist snowboarding a little while back. She was the team driver and a huge support. We are so glad she came out and still participated with us.
We finished (40th of out 60 teams but we still finished and had fun!)
