Team Lost Dumasse (Lost Dumbass) finished in 25th place out of 83 in the Stark Raving Mad Adventure Race in Muskegon over the weekend. Matt and friend, Dave, competed in the endurace race that included 15 miles of bike-riding, 2-3 miles of canoeing, and 5k orienteering. The goal was to find the marker, punch their passport and finish in under six hours. There were 28 markers in all and they found 18. They finished in 5 hours and 45 minutes. Whew. They had a great time and were thankful they trained because it was pretty grueling. Kelly and I had a great time on the beach, enjoying a picnic lunch and strawberry daiquiris. We were thankful they made it back in one piece and weren't wandering in the woods all night (we needed someone to start the campfire!).
Keaton and Cyrus enjoyed a weekend home alone. Keaton had his ACT on Saturday morning and two lawns to mow on Sunday. Cyrus definitely wins the prize for being the most enthusiastic upon our return home! It was a fun weekend and I'm very proud of the guys for finishing the race and doing so well for their first competition. Now they're looking forward to competing in more races and are trying to talk Kelly and me into competing either on a 2-person women's team or coed team. I think Kelly and I will stick to hanging out on the beach, enjoying our slushies (frozen drinks)...that's enough adventure for me!
