The "I"mazing Race


The thing I love about this campus, there is SOOO much to do, all day everyday. There is always an oppurtunity to get involved, meet new people, and have so much fun. About two weeks ago my friend Tanya passed me a flyer that had information about the upcoming activity, the "I"mazing race. I have always wanted to be on the real Amazing Race and this seemed like the next best thing. So we signed up (the first ones to do so) to be on one of the teams. So last night, Friday the 11 of March, we went up to the MC, checked in, got our first clue, and waited for our cue to start. It was a mad house, people running everywhere! Our first task was to find a book by Robert Frost in the library, which led us to the Spori to piece together a puzzle, the clue led us to the Thor the Viking in the Hart building, who told us to go do a copy cat lap in the BYUIC, we then got a clue that instructed us to go to the MC and find one of the Dancing Latin Stars, learn a dance and keep moving, the next clue was hidden in an egg in the Ricks gardens, after a slight delay we found our egg, read the clue and dashed off the the Taylor for some popcorn and another clue, this one led us back to the MC bowling alley, and after many failed attempts at a strike and one success we were off to the finish line. 5th place of 25 teams. Hizzah. We were the first all girl team, we beat most of the co-ed teams, and all of the all boy teams. Just saying. Oh it was so fun, I wished it would have lasted longer. It is something I have always wanted to do, and the best part was getting to do it with my best friend. I think I will try this again sometime soon.

The End.
