Ottawa City Chase 2008

What a great day! Despite both of us being quite out of shape and, as it turned out, not very well prepared (not typical MannAiz attention to detail and planning), we had a great time running the Mitsubishi City Chase Ottawa...sponsored by Blackberry (our cheque better be in the mail!) this past weekend.

This was our first kick at this event and we are already thinking about next year and getting a chance to do things differently.

Check points were scattered across the city and we ended up walking and jogging about 17 km over the course of the day. It took us 4 hours, 40 minutes and we finished 68th out of about 360 teams...not too shabby. We got to hit baseballs at JetForm park, fence a woman from our Olympic team, sing with strangers in a car, take pictures of stranger's tattoos, build an inukshuk, golf with ridiculously oversized golf clubs and walk on stilts on slippery grass.

We can hardly walk two days later but is was great fun. If you get the chance, we highly recommend it!
