Adventure XStream 24 Hour Buena Vista

Adventure races require teams to find Check Points (CPs) located out in the wilderness. A few hours before the race starts, each team is given a map of the area they will travel over and a list of the CPs with their UTM coordinates (kind of like the latitude and longitude). Teams must plot the CPs in the correct locations on the map and then go find them. In this case, we were only given some of the CPs and would be given another set of CPs 10 minutes before the start of the race.

Wow! That was a fun read. I just completed my 1st mini (sprint or whatever you want to call it) Adventure race this week. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed mixing my love of trail running & mt. biking with orienteering.
