Adventure Race conquered in just two hours - Central Florida Future
Team Pangea Racing with Greg Owens and Nikki Carlson.
Here is the article on the UCF Adventure Race. There were 20 CP's placed around the UCF campus and 3 challenges. The challenges were the ropes course, Paddle and Puzzle, and an Orienteering/Compass course. The compass course was the only one to give us trouble, you had 2 use compass bearings and pacing to get through a maze of small flags - picking up letters at each flag you landed on and then unscrambling them to make a word (K E T C J A were our letters). The flags were really close together meaning a small bearing error would take you to the wrong flag. It took us 3 tries to finally land the successful word.
We blasted through all the other challenges (morse code decipher, balance puzzle, riddles, math problems, blindfold maze, complete the lyrics) quickly and had a nice fast time. For an example here is the paddle puzzle - O T T F F S S E _ - fill in the missing letter.
UCF provides a great venue and it was pretty cool to see a lot of younger racers get enthused about adventure racing.
