We have one Great Urban Race under our belt. Go Team Trophy Doe!! There were 950 participants in a wide variety of costumes. Some of our clues/challenges included origami, taking pictures next to murals, solving pictogram puzzles, and finding random landmarks around houston. We were allowed to skip one challenge and we opted out of eating a serrano pepper, which meant we had to complete all the rest. Sadly our last clue was "Where Houstonians go to watch hockey" and we went to the Toyota Center (where the Aeros play) and it was NOT the answer to the clue. We kinda felt jipped when we found out it was some bar called Maple Leaf. Cheap. We did not know that we would be running all over Houston. RUNNING. Take that Metro. There were teams taking the rail/metro line, but we RAN. I think we should get extra points for that. Anyhow... I think they could rename the GUR the "iPhone Challenge" next year. Sounds like reason enough for me to get an iPhone. haha. :)
My central market sandwich was amazing BEFORE we started running all over town... :(
