THE CHASE RESULTS!
So the Bell City Chase (see previous post) was truly h'Awesome.
As Liz and I were styled "The Scrambed Eggheads" the day started with fluffly scrambled eggs with cheese (and coffee!). The race itself started with a scavenger hunt in downtown Ottawa at 10am_on a Saturday...
Once you were done with that you had to complete 10 of 15 tasks all over the city. While Liz and I did not make the top 25 we could have done much better than we did if we had just concentrated on the events downtown and in one of the other clusters. However we decided that we just wanted to make the best time possible while experiencing all the really cool events (which just happened to be the furthest and most awkward to get to:). This included a zip line over Hogs Back Falls http://www.rideau-info.com/canal/img-hogsback1.html, and canoeing through rapids on the Ottawa River http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/MNR/fishing/ottawa/nepean_north.htm#CBridge and other fun things.
We are definately doing this again next year. I think our goal should be to have as much fun and enjoy as many cool events as possible while beating our time.
Cheers,

Ah... alas no. I toyed with the idea of bringing my camera but decided against it. Too much running, and bumping and water.
There should be pics on the main site but I doubt i'm in any of them.
