Daily Highlights & Events

DAY 1 | Friday October 3

RECAP

Day one is done. It started in a chilly drizzle, but the sun quickly broke through the clouds and warmed things up. Slick basketballs and an unfriendly double rim led to some lower-than-normal scores in the Free Throw stage, ultimately won by Ben Milder with 13 of 20, barely edging out Tai Milder with 12.

We then moved straight to closely contested Discus, and Kevin Forster took the title with a final heave that left him a mere half inch ahead of Brian Compagnone (with Theron Stout just a few inches behind him).

On to the Deschutes River in downtown Bend for the Kayak for the most shocking result of the day. Shannon Clune easily cleared the field by over 15 seconds to take the stage as even local Bend residents looked on dumbfounded by his strength and skill. Josh Robinson paddled his way to second.

Then came the newest stage of the Challenge, an improvised and taxing obstacle course balancing speed and agility that included a slide start, hurdling across logs, scaling two climbing walls, sprinting across picnic tables (yes, I’m intentionally making it sound more dramatic – video included). Ultimately, Ben prevailed by under a second besting Josh with at just over a minute and a second to Josh’s 1:02.

The Mountain Bike followed taking riders through a double loop of the Roundabout Trail with a grueling uphill push before a winding and fast downhill to the finish. Paul Tibbits, Jr. cruised to a comfortable victory ahead of second place finisher Theron Stout. Per the usual, we lost (but eventually found) one competitor on the trail, but all made it home safely in the end.

After freshening up and dinner, it was off to Bowling at Lava Lanes in Bend, where Tai absolutely crushed the field scoring a 212 (3 points short of the Challenge record) and including a “Hambone” in the effort (four consecutive strikes).

Day two kicks off this morning with a scenic trail run along the Deschutes River in the Lava Lands in the Deschutes National Forest. Then on to field events with the Punt & Pass, Field Goal, HR Derby, Football Accuracy and a series of team events (Corn Hole, Ping Pong, Anchor Man).
