epic race 2008 is complete. finally (team 15)

Posted by juplife on July 4, 2008

danielle and i handed in our final epic race project today. it wasn’t exactly the presentation i was hoping for, but we did well nonetheless. danielle made an amazing collage that’s nearly as tall as me. i have a tendency to take a few photos and quite a few of them made the final cut. she did some excellent work. i was responsible for the video slideshow of our race. i’m not too good with the program yet, but promise to have it online soon. i think our plan from the start was a great one and it truly comes through in the video.

the epic race was crazy. it took up so much time and required significant planning of our schedules the whole month to fit in all 60 locations. it was definitely worth it though and i’m glad we participated. i think we’ll be recognized for the work we put it.

a few of the places that really stand out to me are: snook’s dream cars, oregon mayor marge brown, and the devin vargas gym. if we had not joined the race i wouldn’t know about so many neat places in the area. not only is it cool to discover new places, but it’s fun to be reminded that there are plenty of things to do in the toledo area. epic of northwest ohio did a great job of raising awareness of their purpose and the area with this race - even if it completely wore us out in the process.
