Luckily, we didn’t do much that involved exercising fingers so I am fully capable of writing this post. On the other hand, I know Vancouver Marathon runners must be thinking I’m crazy because the 7 hours of The Amazing Hunt totally kicked my butt.
It could have been the yogurt we had to chug, or the [...]

In less than 24 hours John and I will be running and driving through the streets of Vancouver during the first Amazing Hunt of 2008.
The Amazing Hunt is an urban adventure racing series modeled after popular reality television shows. You will get to set out as teams of two to embark on an exhilarating quest. [...]

Last year my sister and I participated twice in The Amazing Hunt, once in a foot race Granville Island and the other in Surrey (with car travel). Fashioned after the popular CBS and Emmy-winning reality show The Amazing Race, this hyper-local adventure challenge tests your brains and brawn with tasks that take place in a [...]

Since we’ve been in the midwest since last Saturday I missed last week’s episode. We’re going to watch it right now through the magic of torrents so here’s somewhat of a live-blog of episode 3, about 2 hours before episode 4 airs - better late than never eh?
As of the beginning of episode 3, [...]

It all starts now! Well, actually it started at 5:00 pm ET and I was going to catch the earlier airing of The Amazing Race but we were super busy cleaning the house all afternoon. Now that it’s almost time for the ‘pacific coast’ broadcast, I’m getting pretty pumped. I’m going to semi live blog [...]

Last season I live blogged a lot of TV, but not just any TV, The Amazing Race. I love adventure races, travel and the challenges that teams face in this Emmy Award-winning reality series. It’s coming back this Sunday for season 12 after a bought with the All Star teams last season.

The new Race wasn’t [...]

36 hours before the race, our super secret instructions were posted on The Amazing Hunt’s race blog. 9:45am at Blackie Spit in South Surrey. I took the Skytrain out in the morning where my sister picked me up on the other end. We made sure we had bottles of water, and a map even though [...]
