A few of of us from the Ragnar team decided to sign-up for the Great Urban Race and instead of splitting everyone in teams of two, we decided to each race with our husbands. Unfortunately, everyone kind of flaked out for one reason or the other and only teams White Bread & Rice (Ardis and Wilson) and The Swiss and the Geek (Anthony and I) were ready to race!On October 3rd, after seeing patients, going to school and unloading kids, we all somehow managed to meet at the race start.
The Great Urban Race is
similar to the reality TV show "The Great Amazing Race", we had several clues to solve, challenges to do and lots of running around.
It required a lot of strategizing, lots of running and some luck!
We had to carve pumpkins, purchase and deliver toilet paper to a shelter, taking a two-step lesson, finding license plates with specific letters, complete a smelling challenge, chow down a brownie and taking pictures doing it, etc.
Almost 400 participants and both our teams qualified for the Championship in New Orleans by arriving in the top 25, 16th and 17th respectively. It was a blast!
