Wow what a weekend! This weekend my sister, Peyton, turned 10, my goddaughter, Bella, turned one, and it was Urban Adventure Race Nationals. This was my first time ever racing in an Urban Adventure Race. My partner, Mike, qualified up in DC and his partner couldn’t join him in New Olreans so I stood in for her. I wasn’t used to solving problems and trying to go fast though! It was a very different but fun experience. I learned things about my city that I didn’t know before. We had to do all sorts of crazy things like solve a puzzle, make orange juice with our hands, solve a math problem, and carry a live alligator! It was all either on foot or street car too, no biking, except for the one part in the little touring cars (see picture below). The winners won $10,000! Unfortunately, we didn’t win but we still had a good time. We came in top 30 out of 90+ teams.
Up next…. Lance’s Ranch MTB race.
