An Event that Took Our Breath Away

Over the weekend the cascade crew competed in the Oyster Urban Adventure Race which had us literally running in circles all over Portland. The race combines a scavenger hunt with all types of physical activities. Throughout the 3-4 hour race we biked up Mt Tabor, played beer pong, found the world's smallest park, completed an obstacle course at a rock climbing gym, tasted some food cart delicacies, tried not to plow over children while sprinting through the zoo and kayaked under the Burnside bridge, amongst other tasks.

Here are some stats on our mileage:

Foot = 6.7 miles
Bike = 14.7
Total = 21.4 (Hence the reason why it took our breath away)

Even though we didn't capture first place, we had a blast!
