Great Urban Race

This past weekend, I did the Great Urban Race, which made its way back to Atlanta in 2011 - http://greaturbanrace.com/ - It's basically The Amazing Race, but just around Atlanta where you are given 12 clues and you try to complete them all as quickly as possible, but only using public transportation and your feet. Some of the clues involved taking pictures of yourself doing things in certain places as proof (see below), and the race spanned from Buckhead to Midtown.

You are also allowed a 'home base crew' that can help you with directions/googling/clue solving, etc. Thanks to my brother Thomas and the rest of the LBi crew for their help. It was through my company and we raised money for St. Jude's so it was worth it regardless. The time limit was 5 hours and I'm happy to say we (my partner Tad and I) made it in around 3 hours 50 minutes.

See the Facebook page for more details.

Here are some shots we took:

LBi had 3 teams: Tad and I (Vatican Warlock Assassins), Mary Ellen and Chelsea (Lean Mean Scavenger Machine) and Michael and Christina (Crop Dusters). Pre-Race.

Clue: Take a photo with both team members giving a high five to someone in uniform.

Clue: Take a photo of both team members with someone who has at least two visible tattoos.
Clue: Take a photo of both team members in from of LW Chocolatier in Buckhead feeding each other a treat.

Clue: One team member make a paper airplane and the other have it and in the middle of the designated target - if you don't get it within three tries, take a photo of both team members in front of the Chipotle sign looking sad.

Clue: take a photo of both team members in front of wherever this Eagle is (ending up being at the Federal Reserve building on 10th) doing what the Eagle is doing.It was a lot of fun, but we were very sore after... hope to do it next year too!
