Merrell Urban Side


After being unfairly regarded as unable, uncompetitive and out of fit, Pete was "forced" to include me in his last minute team set-up for the Merrell Urban Side since the rules stated that each team must be composed of members of both genders. Sexist considerations set aside, the truth is Pedro, Miguel, Ruben and I were PRIM, the winning team of the first edition in Lisbon of this major city scavenger hunt. Pedro had the strategic game experience and leadership, Miguel had the best knowledge of the city's layout, Ruben was our creative boyscout and I was the cultural/historical reference book. Ah!, and we can't forget Beta who was our stand-by google consultant!

The game was amazingly well set-up: we had to run, bike ride or take public transportation to different locations across the city given to us through clues, that would then takes us to other locations were, in each, we had different tasks and more clues. In the end, we summed up a winning 750 points. and someone had some apologizing to do... Next year I really hope to participate again but without gender discriminations...

  1. Homens e as suas incapacidades de se auto-reconhecer fracos e incapazes de fazer algo que seja sem uma mulher presente! Que ingratos! E ainda se acham o sexo forte!
    Para o ano, arranja um grupo de raparigas, convida um miúdo qualquer a entrar no vosso grupo (só para satisfazer o critério de géneros) e mostra como se faz!!

    Good for you!

  4. Pedro, não é preciso conhecer muito bem a Isabel para se saber que ela sozinha não acabava a prova quanto mais ganha-la!
    Zero na resistência
    Zero na orientação
    Zero na paciência
    Zero na persistência

    Dou-te o mérito TODO nesta prova sem duvida!A ti e aos outros rapazes e até á Beta. A Isabel deve ter sido um fardo:).

    Mas tinha de comentar a afirmaçaõ:«Pete was "forced" to include me in his last minute team set-up».
