Adventure Camp

Last weekend (13th/14th April) I went on a race in the mountains with my cousin Samuel! It was in a small town called Cunha, which is also where some of my distant Brazilian relatives live. The race was 25km -  Part bike, part running, and the other part was in type of inflatable canoe called a "Duck".

Two boys and a Duck

    

Made it!

I borrowed a bike from a friend, and it felt great because I hadn't ridden one for over 2 years! 

The day before the race there was training. We trained in the Duck; we trained map reading, and how to plan our route; and we learnt some safety rules, and tips.

    

Winners!!

My cousin Samuel (right) and I (left) came in 3rd place, in the teens category, and my older cousin Neto (centre) came 2nd in the pro category, which was 50km.

I really enjoyed it and I am looking forward to the next stage, which will be in another city, in June!
