Over the weekend a couple of us decided to take on The Amazing Race to test our ability on land. We came equipped with awesome matching outfits and very intimidating nicknames. We were ready to blow the competition out of the water!
                                    
                                              (D...Dang, Killer, Bazooka, Storm, Sniper)

At our first stop, all we had to do was get a stamp, easy enough.  But then we got to the second stop where we were quickly reminded that we were not meant to be on land. We had to throw rubber ducks off the side of the JEC into little pools below. Sadly, we got pasted by another team. But not all hope was lost!! We still had 8 more places to go! Well, then we got passed by another team at our next stop, and two more while digging for flags in the volleyball court..... but we kept truckin on.  We got to do jumping jacks and push-ups while singing barbie girl (Yes, they took a video of us), a blindfolded obstacle course, and we had to pull each other across a field on tarps.  We even got to see Marissa and Ellen on our adventure! After ten tiring, but fun, activities, we finally made it to the finish line!  We came jogging to the field with a group of people applauding us. "Let's hear it for our last place team!!".

Yeah..... We came in last, but we don't see that as a waste of a day.  We all got and incredible workout, had some good laughs, and it benefited charity!

We were the only coed team and the only team who matched! We got a lot of compliments on our outfits so we totally would've won Best Dressed... if that was a thing.
After running up and down stairs and all around campus, we are ready to hit the approach!!

(No, that's not sweat on our shirts, that's from when we had to carry cups of water while having balls thrown at us!)


LETS GO RED
