In April, we signed up for CitySolve Dallas. CitySolve is a company that is creating mini "Amazing Race" type events in several cities in the U.S. We love the show and I am going to try-out one of these days, but definitely not in the near future. So, this type of race appealed to us both. In CitySolve, we were told that we could use public transportation (DART) or travel by foot, but no taxis or hitch-hiking...not that I would ever dream of hitch hiking in downtown anyway. Our biggest mistake was trying to catch a DART bus. We learned quickly that they are absolutely unreliable on the weekends. We waited for 15 minutes for one that never came. Instead, we ended up running over 7 miles with 9 "pit-stops" in between. It was actually alot of fun, and we would have never made it without our smart phones (which were totally legal). The race could have been more organized and the challenges definitely need to be harder, but it is a new race and we trust it will improve in the future. Here are a few photos. Remember, we were running from place to place and therefore not very cute by the end!
Wish we could have stopped in to eat. YUM!
We got bonus points for finding 3D art.
One of the challenges included making a pinwheel at an Art Festival.
In May, we did a 10K. We were happy with our time and Scott's brother, Jeff, won his age division. Let's just say he waited awhile for us at the finish line! :)
Thank you, Brian & Taylor for coming to cheer us on!
We did it!
Jeff with his medal!
And a special thanks to Scott, my wonderful husband who runs slow with me, even though he could walk faster than I run!
