We got to the secret location and checked in. Bob, the Amazing LA Race guy, asked us for a team name. We went with PLATYMONK (the name of the production company I am in the process of creating). There were two other teams competing against us: two local ladies that were friends and a family from Australia. We began by winning a challenge and we were off and running...literally running.
I can't get into any more details because I don't want to give any of the locations or clues away...but I will say it was amazing and challenging and AWESOME!!! We had a blast...and...WON!!! (That made it even better.) We found locations in LA that I never even knew existed and I've lived here around 10 years now.
I highly recommend The Amazing LA Race II to anyone that enjoys a challenge or just wants to spend a couple of hours racing around LA exploring and finding new sites with friends or family.
To top it off...now that I am "a part of the family" so to speak I was invited to beta test a new race. This time the race was in conjunction with the Starline Hop on Hop off tour. It was between team 1, my mom and me ('The Sassy Ladies' team), Jeremiah and my dad, team 4 and the late coming team 5. They only wanted teams of two for the beta test, however I think you can have teams of all sizes once they roll out the actual race. This one's format was slightly different, but still really fun. I should mention my mom and I won and the guys came in second...and no we didn't work together. We lost them around the halfway point and got a bus ride ahead.
So now I have two first place medals from the amazing races. :)
