Beyond the Boardroom and Equinix partnered up for an Amazing race team event in Sydney. Read more on how the participants enjoyed this team event!

2. Equinix - Amazing Race
Sydney

4. 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.

5. This was a great way to showthem
the sights and sounds of Sydney city
life packed with a little bit of
competitive spirit.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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,

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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).

15. 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

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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

19. 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

20. 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.
