“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” – Plato<\/p>\n
And I would say…in 6 hours of scavenger hunt, you will learn more about your partner than you will in a lifetime of just co-existing.<\/p>\n
When there is a goal at stake, varying energy levels, athletic levels, working styles…everything can break apart.<\/p>\n
Chris’ favorite reality show is the Amazing Race, because he imagines himself doing it one day. I know now that I couldn’t be that partner\u00e2\u20ac\u201dI don’t have the stamina or energy.<\/p>\n

Things you certainly discover:
\nWill your partner wait for you if you’re tired?<\/i>
\nWill your partner yell at you to catch up?<\/i>
\nOr will your partner yell “Good job!” as you run up the hill?<\/i>
\nKnowing that the boat is leaving, will your partner extend his hand so that he pull you forward?<\/i>
\nWill your partner tell you where you’re going next?<\/i>
\nOr more specifically, how much longer it will take to get to the next destination?<\/i>
\nIf you fail at a puzzle, will your partner still hug you for giving a good try?<\/i>

\nMost importantly, will you and your partner cross the finish line together?<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
