The reason this year's Lord Hill 50k was on Sunday and not Saturday was mainly due to the fact 
that my Saturday had been reserved for a while now. My friend Colin has been putting on a birthday bash/pub crawl/adventure race/scavenger hunt for his birthday for 6 years now, and it gets better every year. All dressed up (mimes, cowboys, thing1/2, pirates, superman, and so forth) teams of 2-5 run/navigate across the city and have to solve puzzles, find sights, take lots of pictures, drink lots of beer (not mandatory obviously, the RD would not condone such a terrible thing:) and generally do lots of 
things you only get to do when you are a kid or at mardi-gras.. and boy it's been fun! Over the last few years we had to ride rollercoasters, wear utility kilts, sell dried apples at the market, and so forth, its been a blast.

This year since Yumay sprained her knee and was out for the race i teamed up with Frenchy, Amanda and Susan to form Team Arrrrrr, Susan had all the pirate props, and we ran about 8-10 miles through the city, had an occasional beer or irish car bomb (yummy), and did lots of special tasks.
Thanks Colin and Connie for yet another fun race!
