Urban Dare Portland 2012 - 1st Overall

We managed to come in first overall today at the Urban Dare.  We had a pretty good race without too many issues, nothing like last weekend and took home a win and $300.  Thanks Angela for the help on the phone and to Yellow Tie Racing and the Soup-A-Stars for pushing us.  I kept telling Will, "Hurry up and find me that address, they are going to beat us, they are going to beat us, we are going to lose!"  I am not so sure he is happy you were pushing us.  And bonus, we got paid before we left, unlike the Gorilla Challenge where we have yet to see the money.  See the full Race Recap below.

Whew - Three Race Weekend

Seattle Oyster 2nd Coed

Portland Scavenger Dash 1st overall

     

Seattle Savenger Dash



This weekend we competed in the Seattle Oyster and the Seattle Scavenger Dash on Saturday and then drove home to Portland Sunday morning for the Portland Scavenger Dash.  After a major mechanical issue, and I mean major, in the Oyster, that made me miss the start of the Seattle Scavenger Dash by over 30 mintues we somehow pulled out a 2nd place finish in the Oyster and we still finished pretty well in the Dash and then today we took 1st overall in the Portland Scavenger Dash.  The race recaps will be posted below soon.  I need a weekend from my weekend!

Gorilla Challenge - 1st Overall

August 25th, we completed the Gorilla Challenge in Portland.  After out racing the organizers we finished 1st overall.  Somehow I knew all but 2 of the clues on the sheet and it made for a fast race.  So fast, we got to the activity locations before the race volunteers were there and this later caused a bit of an issue for us, but we recovered and still finished in only 1 hour and 10 minutes.  See the race recap below.
