Suncorp Team Race Melbourne
As sung in the famous crowded house song "four seasons in one
day" this race can certainly be summarised in the same way. The
Suncorp teams arrived to wet Princes walk on the Yarra river, but eagerly were awaiting how
we would lead them on their Amazing Race around
Melbourne.
It was also fitting that the Suncorp race would be themed after very
popular games of thrones series as the Winter was certainly not just
coming it was here.
As the teams set out the tribes engaged in a brain busting challenge
of fitting a member of their team through an A4 piece of paper and certainly proved to be that. As the rain came down it would see the House of Lannister get away first and into the elements followed
minutes later with the other teams
figuring out the challenge. So we were off and the racers would then
find answers in the Southbank precinct with some great
interpretations of the 5 dysfunctions in some creative photos, certainly
highlighted by the "kiss Ass" addition to the list by 'The Knight
Watch'.
As the teams filtered in to the first stage and their second team
challenge it was very clear that there was range of different
strategies going on ranging from speed, 'House of Lannister' to
Strategy, 'House of Stark'.
The water bottle innovative challenge saw the teams working
to come up with the best methods, which largely contained a few
strategically places bollards from the city planners of melbourne
being utilised as the team squeezed those bottles.
As the rain cleared the last few legs of the race would see the tribes pick up the pace and find themselves on a
trek through the street art alley ways, the Little cupcake shop,
parliament house, china town and around to federation square for a
challenge about memory and focus. This last leg saw a major
change to the order with "the Littlefingers" coming home strong.
"The Knights watch" who were a front runner lost their way with wrong
tram choice and the 'Hodors' putting all the eggs to one big basket of
commitment to a certain boat ride across the Yarra.
As the rain kicked back into gear the teams were on a race to the
finish at the scenic Yarra river bar the Arboury, which was the finish
of this epic race. First to arrive was the always speedy 'House of Lannister', but only time would tell if they were the cleverest.
Not to far behind was the elder statesmen the 'House of Stark',
followed by 'Littlefingers', 'Hodors', 'Knight Watch' and finally
the 'White Walkers.'
As the strategies of this race came in it was revealed it was clear that
despite the 'Hodors' absolute commitment to boat ride this race
was down the speedsters, the 'House of Lannister' and the strategists the
'House of Stark.' After the tallies were in, it would see the massive 18 modes
of transport
utilised by the House of Stark prove that catching a wheelie bin,
horse and carriage and skateboard would taking them to win for todays amazing race around
Melbourne.
Despite the four seasons of weather experienced by the
Suncorp team the themed game of thrones race was a great
afternoon of fun, laughs and cleverness too. Their team
building activities Melbourne was a great success!
