Quick Sand(mann) in Cartersville, Ga.

This weekend's Sandmann sprint adventure race up the road from Atlanta packed quite a bit of racing into 6 hours. The race was a Rogaine format. Maps were given out less than an hour before the race began, so teams had to make decisions and move very quickly to get all 22 checkpoints within the time limit. Just one or two bad route choices could mean the difference between finishing places, or not being able to punch every point.

We raced as two 2-person male teams and had a complete blast, getting all the checkpoints and finishing I believe second overall. Thanks to teammates Jon Barker, Tim Abbott and Allen McAdams and a huge thanks goes to the volunteers who shivered with us in the cold -- temps at the start were in the mid 20s -- to make sure the racers had fun. And the barbecue at the finish really hit the spot!

It was a great way to start the race season for me. Come back for a race report this week.
