Well, well, well.

Last Saturday was the Amazing Race that Nick (and Jay) put together. It was so much fun and was exhausting. On Sunday, everyone’s Facebook status included a comment either about sunburns, muscle fatigue, exhaustion or blisters or a combination of them. So you know it was good times.

I personally enjoyed the baby food challenge where we had to taste mixed up dyed baby food to guess what two types of food it was. There was a 7 story staircase challenge that almost cost Misha his life. I also liked the 47 bus driver who lost her shit when she found out we were on a race for prizes and glory. As we ran off, she leaned out of the bus and yelled, “I’m rooting for you!” Aww. Surely, there were other highlights that others can include in the comments section.

My personal favorite was the decision by someone (dirty Nick) to invite German triathletes to the fun family and friends event. Well, that certainly upped the anty, didn’t it? These chiseled specimens of humanity were hella fit. They literally ran from spot to spot instead of taking buses because the buses took too long! Haha. What chance did anyone have in challenging them? In all, it was like a 25 mile circuit that they RAN. They killed it. It was kinda amazing but I’ll never admit it.

Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a tasty BBQ that included Benutty family frolics, which of course are the most fun. And everyone recalled stories about what happened to them along the race. At the end of the day, Nick and Jay pulled it off.
