Yesterday Kip and I raced in the Great Urban Race. The last time we raced in one of these was back in 2007 and we came in 2cnd out of 50 teams. This year there were almost 500 teams.
These are pics from the race, before during and after. Pretty much in reverse order.
The finalists for Best Costume. The Underage Chinese Gold Medal Gymnasts won.
Before the race, this shows about half of the people competing. It was actually less convoluted along the race course than last year when there were around 100 teams.
Semi-finalists for best costume.
Kip really wanted to dress up. Here he is admiring the gymnasts' costumes.
The Race started and ended downtown
Took us to Olvera Street
MacArthur Park
Hollywood
The Sunset Strip
When all was said and done we had a great time, came in just over 3 hours and .....
placed a very respectable 4th place. Which qualifies us to compete in the Championships in New Orleans.
Any sponsors???
PS We were a P & J sandwich from coming in the top 3.

I hate those Chinese gold medalist guys... Posers! I knew they weren't Chinese!
How about that... another "Kip" that does these clue-solving races! And here I was thinking that I was the only one! Maybe we'll get a chance to meet in New Orleans!
