Just did my first adventure race yesterday, it was cool. Anyone else here ever do those?

Can't say I have. I did do Outward Bound training. Always thought adventure racing was really cool.
So how far, how long and what was the race like.
Details!

Sounds like a blast. How'd you do? When's the next one for you? Where you in a team or individual?

3 man team we finished 5 out of fourteen, we were all virgins in adventure racing but we all have raced mountain bikes before. i hate running but i can deal. i live in florida so there are several per year to choose from. i am going to do a 24 hour one in october i think, as long as it does not interfere with my climbing.
