Responses to Escape from Torry Island

Hi Kenny,

Myself and 5 other girls that participated in the adventure race wanted to thank you for a wonderful experience last Sat. on Torry Island!  We had a great time and realized that you and your team put tons of work into organizing it.

If you could keep my e-mail on file and let me know if there are any other adventure races in the area I would really appreciate it.

Thank you again,

Hey Kenny,

Just wanted to say thanks for putting on the race.  It was great to race somewhere other than the typical Central Florida state park and where nobody has raced before.  Sorry we couldn't hang around after (I wanted to after seeing the big BBQ pit pull in that morning) but Jason and I both had to go straight to work.  I'll definitely be back next year!  Also, thank your school kids for me for coming out to help too (on a weekend!), it's tough to find volunteers for theses races. 

Next time you want to put a race on out there contact Jason and I through Clubscrub.org and we'll do whatever you need to help out.  At the very least we'll be able to round up more teams to come out and race.

Thanks again,

Ken Kandefer (racing with Jason Willems)

P.S. Keep the zip line!

Hey Kenny,

First of all, I hope you got some needed rest and are feeling better.

I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful race. We REALLY enjoyed it and will most definitely come back next year. Now that I know what it will be like, I can encourage more people to participate. My friend, who would never do anything like this, even enjoyed it. She will not ride the mountain bike at Oleta or Markham but this terrain worked out fine for her. Fred and Bill are my two lunatic friends that are up for anything. They enjoyed it too.

Regarding the course, I think the zip line was the hit of the day. What a blast! I wanted to go do it again :) A few possibilities for next year given the terrain and cost of materials might be: army crawl under some type of netting (maybe in some mud :), small obstacle course of some kind maybe with a tire run, small wall climb with rope or carrying something in a fifty yard dash. I will have to think about it a little more but the stuff you had was great. The bones slowed us down a bit and even with your great directions, I messed up checkpoint 2 and 3 and lost about 4 minutes. The good thing is we just wanted to have fun and a good workout. That we did!

Last but not least, your volunteers did a great job and I tried to tell them all that we appreciated them being there. I know they were hot and tired at the end.

Thanks again,

Linda

Hi, I'm Linda Semko 's adventure race partner and just wanted to thank you for putting on a fun race. Everything was laid out to where it was

easy to follow.   I would certainly do it again.  Your volunteers were

great too!

Thanks again!

You did an outstanding job with the adventure race on Sat.  I will definitely sign up for it again next year.  I will be sure to tell all my friends.  Your volunteers were so good.  I can’t say enough about the event and the experience.

Hi Kenny,

Just wanted to say thanks again for a great race yesterday!  I heard several comments from competitors such as, “There is no way in hell that I will not do that race again next year.  I had so much fun!" Greg and hade great time.  It really was well organized and thought out- and a perfect race for beginners with the marked trails. 

See you around,

Rob

Kenny,
Just wanted to say thanks again for the event yesterday, we had a great time. The course was well marked and the checkpoints were fun. The zip line of course was the best. Keep me on your list for future events. Thanks again for all your efforts.
