AWOL ADVENTURE 2IntroductionMy team members and I had been assigned to practice with AWOL Adventure, a technology-based company specializing in delivering photos to the competitors at a sporting event. The company uploads these photos from mass participating events such as marathon and cycling. After the event, the participant can purchase their photos from the company’s website.
