Today was the second annual Ozello Florida adventure race. An adventure race is like a sprint triathalon except you replace the swimming with kayaking. I was part of a team that consisted of me as the kayaker, a good friend of mine who was the cyclist and my 17 year old son running. At 17, 46, and 53 we called ourselves, The Speedster and the old guys. I kayaked 1.5 miles first and to everyones amazement I was the third one across the line to tag my friend who then biked 7 miles. When my friend got back and tagged my son he was well ahead of everyone. My son burned up the 2 miles and even passed a biker as he was crossing the finish line. Last years winning team time was 53 minutes and we completed the course today in 43. We beat last years time so much that they went back and checked with all of the marshalls to make sure we all followed the course. It was a fun time, but I think I will be sore tomorrow.
