Great Urban Race

Yesterday, a friend and I took part in a fun fund-raiser for St. Judes research Hospital. The Great Urban Race was in Houston for the first time. The concept is teams of two (who have to be dressed identical, or have a 'theme', get clues they need to solve to get more clues as to where they need to go to get credit for locations they go to. We had 12 clues that ranged from solving a cryptogram, and search a wrod, etc that tells you to go to say a clock to take a picture of all teammates at certain times, so the timing of locations in important. We have 12 stops to do total, and it took us around downtown and Mid-town and Montrose area, by foot and public transport...no other help was allowed. We finished in about 3.5 hours. A must do again if it ever comes back in to town....

Our team name was 'Hot and Spicy'...and we only had a day to get our costume in order....next time we will be more prepared, both in what to expect in the game and costumes!
