Sydney - Teva Adventure Series
Father Day
In2Adventure / 28.09.2009
<br /><br />
With bikes and gear left at what was to be the first TA of the day a mass of competitors descended on Penrose Community Hall for registration. With a bit of time to spare a long queue had already formed at the Cafe2U van as teams looked for something to warm them up.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The first glimpse of the Sun over the tree��™s gave some promise of the warm day to come as everyone collected their race bags and started to plan for the day ahead. Signs under the Teva tent gave instructions for the opening challenge and also the clue for the Dash for the Stash hidden at a secret location somewhere on the course, which we had affectionately named ‘Broccoli��™ Hill. With the stash being quite a way from the course we wondered if any teams would dare to take the gamble, but with 3 fantastic Camelbak Octane 8 Hydration packs on offer, valued at almost $600 it was well worth the gamble… only time would tell!<br /><br />
<br /><br />
At 8am the Men��™s and Women��™s Health Ultimate Fitness Challenge, otherwise known as the Beep Test, got the day under way. This was a challenge kept teams strategising as to whether to go out hard and fast to secure the first wave start, or save their energy for the rest of the day. <br /><br />
