Equinix - Amazing Race Sydney

The "super" Amazing race team building event is all about fun and adventure and today race

around Sydney certainly delivered on all accounts today. We had 23

racers today mostly from Equinix' HR Department Hong Kong. 

This was a great way to showthem the sights and sounds of Sydney city

life packed with a little bit of competitive spirit.

Today's race started in the Intercontinental Hotel foyer and

once the formalities was done and the teams were donned in their

team colours and bonded together with a united team name they were off on a race around Sydney and the first stop was to track down a Eel in

the beautiful botanic Gardens. 

Once this task was ticked off the teams would take on the ferocious

winds around the circular key area and track down their second

clue, but not without an photographic interpretation of

what is means to be a good team.

 Team Honking (Blue) took flight with this challenge forming the

Flying V like that of a flock of birds. Appropriate because with this wind

they could have taken off.

Next leg would see the racers explore the historic rocks area,

finding their way through the maze that it is to track down their

elusive answers. With time ticking and a deadline to meet the racers

arrived to the commissioners steps to take the ocean way that's is Sydney taxi service on water. 

With the water looking more like surf the racers were taken on a boat ride of epic proportions and hoots and smiles certainly told the story

for the Hong Kong locals.

The last leg would see the racers explore the darling harbour region

and the race would certainly be decided in this thought provoking, mind bending and taste tantalising

section of our Amazing Race. As they racers left King St wharf they

were challenged with the infamous Paper and Scissors challenge, 

which certainly saw the mental strength rise to the top. The

Winning Team (Yellow) started to show there hand as they put their foot down and raced out in front.

The White Wallabies (White) were not to far behind. At the same time Milk T (Black) and Honking (blue)

would hit a little bit of snag.

As the race progresses our challenges increase and so after

the teams did their best to monkey around the darling

quarter playground they arrived to the mind bending

Water Bottle challenge. 

 Various approaches unfolded before our eyes with the White team certainly showing their

ingenuity when it came to problem solving, but would it see them catch the fast tracking The Winning Team

(yellow).

The last stretch the racers would show their commitment to the

teams cause with the weirdest food challenge at Chinatown. Today's

menu did not disappoint with Chicken Feet, Pigs intestine, Pigs Ears and Tortoise Toe all up for

grabs

Committed this team from Equinix they were and as the arrived in Nick

Seaford restaurant the finish location of the race it was only

fitting to see The Winning Team (Yellow) arriving in very quick time. But the big question was were they

not just the fastest, but the cleverest too.

As the other teams arrived and jumped on the Amazing Race floor mat the tallying would

begin. The racers were all eager to hear how they went and after

tallying their challenges, transport and food

commitment and race time.

The results would roll out as follows.The white Wallabies

(White) had an attention to detail nailing the Sydney trivia, but

unfortunately their lack of speed would not bring them back into contention taking the wooden

spoon, In third was 

the Flying birds that is Honking (Blue), who started out quick, but lost momentum as the race went

on. Milk T (Black) were the surprise packet when leaving KIng St Wharf last it would be a mighty

effort to come back and that's exactly what they did.

Unfortunately just falling short of the eventual victors 

and appropriately named The Winning Team (Yellow) who were

fast and had a majority approach to their challenges which would give them the win. So that was for this Amazing Race, a team building in Sydney that will go down in these

Hong Kong workers as memory that lasts.
