Day 3: High Adventure, High Emotions

Saturday. June 16. 8:30 a.m. Only five teams left.

This day was created to be a crazy one. Anticipation filled the air of what was to come next. Little did they know they were heading up Provo Canyon to float on down the 45 degree river. With the High Adventure bus taking them up at 10. Teams had some time to get ready...and get psyched out. The chill morning air combated with the warm sun and they waited next to the bus. Many thought they were clever and tried to change individual tubes to a raft. Mike put the kibosh on that one pretty darn quick. And then they were off.

The river float usually takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours...but these teams sped on down as fast they could and developed quite the arm rashes to prove it! Well, all teams other than the last team:

TEAM BLACK...unfortunately, since they were the last to arrive, were eliminated from the race.

Team Gray finished this leg of the race first!

The first four teams had to run around Vivian Park to find their hidden next clue. Once they found it, they were off to the Bean Museum on BYU campus. Hopefully dead things don't bother them!

The Bean Museum proved quite the challenge as teams had to solve a 9 question scavenger hunt around the building. The Endangered Species list made the teams search many places for the answers and once they finished that they met  the Mr. Emory Cook to double check their answers. Once they've proved their scavenger hunt skills, they were off to the finish line at Rock Canyon Park.

Team Orange (Who was using an alternate [Mitch Tate] as Rachel wasn't able to make it) came in first

...

Followed by Team Green

...

Then Grey

...

Which means Team White....since you were the last to arrive, you should be eliminated from the race.

HOWEVER, There were some discrepancies in some of the rules and Team Orange had to prove their place. A small head-to-head challenge was then issued between Orange and White to make sure the right team was allowed into the final event!

This event was held Wednesday night at Milano. Teams started at a determined location and ran to a central area where the Gettysburg Address was there waiting for them. They had to memorize however much they could and run back to their spot to write it down word for word. They could go back and forth as many times as they desired and 30 minutes later and a close close close finish. Team White came out on top! Congratulations Team White for making it into the final!

Team Orange: You dominated day one, but unfortunately, you have been eliminated from the race.

This Saturday will host the final leg of the Milano Amazing Race! We want all to be at the finish line cheering in our teams. If you want the details, email Sarah Harris at: sarahraeharris@gmail.com or just call her!

This has been an exciting race so far and the final will not disappoint!
