Yes! It's amazing and it's exciting and its... very hard? I think the word is challenging not hard. The race began ahead on time. Instead of 10:00pm, the race started at around 9:45pm. From here, teams were given their clues and began the race. The first Pit Stop was a disaster because all of the players were complaining that the link they encountered for the pit stop was invalid. So, the players then moved on to the second pit stop successfully by giving them their next clue. In leg 2, no one claimed the Fast Forward. Here, players start to give up because they said it was confusing (that's how the race should work anyway). There were 8 people who participated in the race. All of them raced with great gaps between them. About 1 hour gaps. it was already 12:00am and the race should already be over because it has already passed the 2 hour racing time mark. But still, no one has crossed the finish line yet.
At 12:10, Team
Kahekili who is named Henry crossed the finish line and won the title of
The Amazing Online Race. When Henry reached the finish line, he was very
surprised that he was the first one who reached the finish line because on
leg 3, he was on 4th place. But on leg 4, he took the Fast Forward
allowing him to skip all tasks and move on to the next leg, leg 5 at once.
He raced through the finish line first and was told that he crossed the
finish line first. "I did!? Oh wow! Thank you so much! Well, I felt
it was very challenging and tough at times. But it was also fun and I had
a good time competing" What was the hardest part of the race? "The hardest part of the race would have to be the detours. Sometimes I switched back between some of the choices and I felt I lost a lot of valuable time. I had a real problem with picking the fastest route" How would you describe the entire race? "Pretty tough. Having some computer problems really didn't help me. But I had a good time trying to race through all those sites. Some challenges were more puzzling than others. But I'm glad I found my way through" You took the Fast Forward on Leg 4 of the race. Do you think you have gained some advantage by making this move? "Most definitely. Seeing I was in fourth place in leg 3, I took the chance that the other teams had already used the Fast Forward, or they hadn't gone for it. I felt it really helped during this time in the race"
Final Words "I felt that every team who made it as far as the last leg really gave it their all. I'd like to thank them for pushing me all the way to the finish line. All and all. . . this race truly was amazing" So Team Keheliki had a nice ending after all... So... about 1 hour later... The next player crossed the finish line. It was Team Nevaeh, Travis. Travis would have been eliminated if the other racers did not quit, but the other players did so he won second place! He arrived at the finish line at 1:00am and raced from 10:00pm up to 1:00am with the record breaking time of the longest time a person has spent in this race to a verrrrrrrry loooooooooooong 3 hours. So when he was told that he came in second, he said "DARN!" Was he disappointed? Hahahahaha.... So, he then gave his final words about the race.
"This race was
awesome.... even though it did keep me up until 1 am.... it was fun.....
and I couldn't wait to find out if I was a winner or not. Team Kehekili
