I participated in my first adventure race with Brian K on June 18. It was held at Brandywine Creek State Park in Delaware. We started with a 2.5 mile trail run, then a 2 mile canoe, and about a 2 mile orienteering course. It was a beautiful day and we had fun. Canoing was the hardest part for me. The most frustrating part was a misplaced control. There were 17 teams and we beat 6 of them. Not too shabby for the chubbiest team.
