WOW-We were in for a treat with this new adventure!
Mike and I signed up for this “Metro area adventure race.” It is called the Oyster Race and it was started in Denver 7 years ago. This race is a fun way to do a duathalon and supports the Make A Wish foundation.
Mike and I both spearheaded the “girls” and “boys” teams. There was a whole lot of talk, that the girls team “didn’t stand a chance.” To be honest, with 3 new mothers on the team, we were all a bit nervous. Nonetheless, we trash talked back and a healthy bet was established.
The race started out with 1 team member being blindfolded and kidnapped, this was Mike and I. We were allowed to get off the bus when the other teammates back at the transition area solved a puzzle. Then the race was ON! LEG 1-Find 3 statues and take pictures with your passport and 3 teammates. 
I am a little sketchy on the details of legs 3 and 5 because those were my rest legs! We all had a great time, Best of all THE GIRLS WON (well beat the boys team) and actually we finished in the top half of the teams, so that is a huge accomplishment too!
It was a fun and exhausting day. The 95 degree heat didn’t help either. We finished the race about 1 and were home around 3. Thomas was a pretty good little boy when he hung out with our friends Crystal and Johne. What a stink-he only took 2 oz of milk ALL DAY! This was also a milestone for me, it was the longest I had been away from him, 7 hours is a long time!
