The Amazing Race





Donnarae and John Phillips invited us to participate in an amazing race. We were the white team and you can see the bios they wrote for us on http://theamazingraceslc.blogspot.com/. It was a lot of fun and to top it off we won first place! The group behind us was only a few seconds behind so it was a close finish. Andy and Bree were on our team and we won a garden gnome trophy and a coldstone giftcard. It was so much fun, but we ran a lot and are pretty sore. We went to the coppermine, the magna fire station for a relay, Cabella's to count black bears and do some shooting practice. We also ran a lot from house to house, park to park naming tools in some guys yard, quick dinner break (which was timed), iceblocking and then to Thanksgiving point to run about a mile to the finish line. It was intense, trying to get ahead of people and going from place to place, but we had a fun time and look forward to doing another if we ever get the chance.

I have to add one more thing: Marc couldn't lift up his left leg this morning to walk normally. It may take a few days to recover from the amazing race!

What a fun idea. I've always wanted to be on the real show with Dave. Congrats on your first place finish.

Nice showing you two, nice showing :). We evidently left our mad skills behind that day (and/or our command of GPS knowledge).

Can we do dinner sometime soon?! Let us know if there is a good time for you guys, we would love to catch up ... when we're not eating your dust!
