It was a blast though! Twenty-four hours before the race started, we got an email with all the possible tasks and what they were worth so that we could make a game plan. Each team received a cotopaxi flag and in order to get points you needed to upload a picture of you doing the task holding the flag. Tasks ranged anywhere from "hold a staring contest with a stranger while eating a piece of fruit" to "cross a state border" to "hike Delicate Arch" to "perform a random act of kindness" to "mail a potatoe to someone" to "visit the Salt Flats" to "cook a meal over a campfire" to "run underneath a waterfall". There were hundreds of tasks, I can't name them all.
Owen came to the opening ceremonies with us, then he slept at my mom's and stayed with my family while the rest of us headed off for adventure. Here are some of my favorite pictures.
Cotopaxi bus. Momentum climbing gym. This is the place Heritage Park.
Owen cheering on the band. Exchanging shoelaces with someone. Yellow Fork Canyon.
Wind Caves in Logan. Picture inside a phone booth. Pet a llama.
Kiss on the Aggie A. The Living Room. Ensign Peak.
Add your own ingredient to a s'more. Opening ceremonies. Block U.
Shake hands with a mayor. Urban hammocking. Not at Wheeler Farm.
We'll win it next time!
