Adenture Race #3

Jon has gotten into adventure racing, which in Jon's words is, "a mix between a triathlon and a treasure hunt".
Basically there are certain points that the team of two is required to reach. They have to find a checkpoint with clues to prove that they found the right place. They have the choice to make their own route to the checkpoints. The different legs of the race can include a mix between running, biking, and canoeing.Jon and Jimmy Winterton were teammates. The rule with the teammates is when they are running or biking they have to stay within 100 meters of each other
This race took place on San Bruno Mountain near Daly City about 30 minutes from where we live. Once again I am amazed at the beauty we live in.
This is where the race began. I want to come up here to go running. It's so green and lush!Yes there was a whole lot of spandex!
