this event involved a heap of cycling plus lots of fun activities...
starting from Glebe Park we cycled to a garage sale (1 checkpoint - 40pts) in O'Connor then onto the AMF Bowling alley in Belconnen...there we had to get two strikes amongst the team (70pts)...then it was to CISAC to ride the waterslide 3 times each (60pts)!
after that it was a MTB Rally on Bruce Ridge...no map to follow we had instructions and handrawn pictures to work with...6 CPs, 230pts...
then we headed off to Mitchell to do some indoor rock climbing with the checkpoint (100pts) at the top!
at Watson shops we had to play a game of take 2 outside the Satis Cafe (80pts)...at Merici we had to spend 15mins (100pts) cleaning up in the kitchen...
back to Civic and headed for the markets to pick up ingredients for our Irongut challenge (60pts - 4 foods starting with 4 out of 5 of the following letters: B, G, J, R and S)...we went for banana, grapes, raspberries and strawberries...we forgot to get some skim milk so mixed it with water when it was blended...we had to drink it all before moving on...
our last challenge attempted was an orienteering course around the ANU but collecting crossword clues at each point (36 clues in total)...we visited 9 of the 12 CPs to pick up 135 out of a possible 180 pts...we made it back to HQ with 5 mins to spare...
we picked up an additional 130 pts from items collected along the way to finish with 1005 pts...

Phew! The marathon eve 10k will be very tame after that! Perhaps I can invent some ingenious ways of complicating it for you?
