Since we get so many great emails about the race we wanted our Amazing teams to be able to talk to each other and the committee about the race. In our first two years we have gotten a lot of great feedback that has added to the event. A "blog" seemed like the right move to keep things growing.
Need a Loveland Amazing Race team slot if anyone needs to give theirs up. Email or call rmbrinck@gmail.com or 513-310-5600

My fifth year, it was the best yet. I liked the biking being broken up by different events. I was so happy there was no ride to the High School. I would rather walk a hill than bike it.
I loved the Stihl events and many other fun, clever challenges. Sorry to say I did not like LaRosas pizza although I can see that it is easier than a cookout. We are already signed up for 2012. Can't wait.

Great race as usual. I like the added distance and spacing. There were no backups on challenges this year, which is great. However, having uniform enforcement at each challenge would be appreciated, for competative fairness you know :) Out of my group of friends at the test taking challenge (which was brilliant), I had to be penalized with 10 "I will pay attention in class", some had to write it 5 times, and a couple had to write it once. There is a big difference between 10 and 1. Jenga was also not uniformly administered. We had to do 10 total plays or start over, while friends ran up, knocked it down and set it back up and left.
I also applaud the addition of challenges that require both teammates. I like penalties that make you do more stuff. I was penalized a lot, so I jumped rope at the church, I danced after mis-spelling, we did the paddle-ball after bowling. We were getting our money and time's worth at each challenge. That is how I like to think about it. Also on penalties, I like the ones that are actually longer than the challenge. The memorizing challege was easier to just run 2 laps than spend time memorizing the tongue twister.
I liked the minute to win it challenge, but did not like that that was not the finish. There was swimming and a gate spaced with some running. I liked the mud pit and inflatable obstacle course finish the best, if anyone is keeping track. I still miss the castle. Bring back the castle! :)
Overall, I think it gets smoother and better run every year. You can tell there is a group of volunteers that come back every year and I am thankful for them all. I would like the food ticket to be useful. I have never had to give my food ticket to get food in the 5 races I have done. And there is always some booth offering food but not taking tickets. Even if the food ticket gets you half off at the Paxton's booth or something, it is better than it is now. I never see anyone buying food. Don't get me wrong, I will always be thankful for and eat the free option, but having a selection would be nice, or just do away with the food tickets because they are never collected.
Thanks again for a great race. There was a mix-up on the open registration time (it was 2, then 6, then it opened before 6) for 2012 but we got in for next year. I like to consider getting in as the first challenge!

Another great race though it felt really long! No one challenge blew us away, but overall it was still an A+. We loved that there was more stuff we had to do as a team. Didn't love the hill at the beginning, but we just called that challenge 1.5. Our only complaint we had was the ending. Loved the river float again, but hated having to run back upstream afterwards. Also the fence at the end sucked. It could have been set up anywhere. It was frustrating to be so close to the end and not be able to get there. That said, it was still an incredibly fun day and we're already signed up for next year! Surprised registration opened earlier than 6:00.

Our Garmin said total race distance was a little over 13.7 miles....
Posted by: E | June 19, 2011 at 01:29 PM
Does anyone have the breakdown of running vs biking of the 11 miles?
Also, LaROSA's was the best! Quick, Easy and Plentty to go around... Please have them again next year!
Posted by: Liz | June 19, 2011 at 10:45 AM
I heard from the Race Committee that the race was 11 miles. Typically it is only about 8. Great race again this year! Thanks to all the race committe members, the volunteers, and the sponsors!
