A BATTLE OF THE EMERGENCY SERVICES, MUD GALORE & LOADS OF SMILES FOR STARLIGHT AT TEVA ADELAIDE!
With a record field in Adelaide, Sunday the 12th of July saw Teva 2009 kick off with an almighty BANG! It might be one of the smaller Teva events, but our competitors were big on heart, big on generosity & even bigger on Adventure!
In an almighty battle at the pointy end of the field we saw SA Ambulance & the SA Metropolitan Fire Service go neck & neck to the finish line with the guys from Hoses, Hooves & Heart Attacks from SA Ambulance taking out the line honours with SAMFS in second. We hear the SAMFS guys are planning to reverse the finish order next year :-).
With a record number of Virgin Adventurers, it was great to see the Adventure scene in Adelaide continue to grow. But most of all, despite Adelaide's wettest July in 20 years which meant rain, mud & a chill in the air, it was so great to see everyone still smiling when they crossed the finish line.
And in the most inspiring part of the day, it was fantastic to see that teams in Adelaide raised over $3,500 for the Starlight Children's Foundation with Team Golders taking out the Fundraising Hero award as our top fundraisers in SA! it was certainly a memorable day!

WELCOME TO THE VIRGIN ADVENTURE CLUB!
The Virgin Adventure Club is a feature in the Teva Adventure Series Newsletters aimed at providing our virgin adventurers with a few hints and tips that, as a first timer to the sport may help you along the way! This week we feature the CHECK POINT DESCRIPTIONS
CHECK POINT DESCRIPTIONS
Check point descriptions are something that will help save a lot of time in your adventure racing career. Contrary to popular opinion, when you arrive at the general area where the check point is located, there will not be bells, whistles, flashing lights and the check point saying "Hey, over here, Here I am!!" :-), no we actually need to search, for it!
A red circle on the map indicates the location of the check point, however, the exact spot where the flag and control box are located can be anywhere within a 100m radius of the circle, which could mean a lot of searching. This is where check point descriptions come in.
