Another Amazing Year of Running This Race

Another year for me, another Tri-town Amazing Race for us! Our 5th one, in fact. (2018, 2020, 2021, 2022) However, this one was not the same because it was run without Naomi (she was working that day). We carried on the best we could without her.


We spent a couple hours driving around Lewisville, Flower Mound and Highland Village completing a variety of activities and puzzles at 10 different pit stops. 








The goofiest challenge had to be at The Donut Place. The challenge: dress in 3 donuts and carry a tray with a drink while maneuvering around cones. Jeff was clearly the best donut, so he got to do the course twice, in Naomi's spot. 



A couple of the stops were repeats from last year, including at the fire department ...


and police department.



And speaking of police, we had an interesting encounter this year for the first time! (NOTE: At the start of the the race, they tell everyone that you must follow all traffic rules while driving during the race.) We left the 9th pitstop, just ahead of another team. They caught us at a red light, and after the light turned green, they zoomed around and jumped back in front of us to make a quick left turn. Surprise for them: a police officer witnessed the reckless driving / speeding move and signaled for them to pull over. They ended up finishing behind us by about 15 minutes. 

Let's just say, it's a good thing Jeff was driving the whole time and not me!



AmigoNet All Stars remaining awesomely average yet again!
