Europe, the unconventional way
I am leaving for Europe on Tuesday and I have NO idea where I’m going yet, but I know it will be one of those incredible trips of a lifetime. I will be racing across several secret destinations in Europe with Competitours, an Amazing Race-style trip in which two-person teams compete for a grand prize (another trip). As an added bonus, this trip will feature Tyler MacNiven, half of the duo that won the Amazing Race in season 9, who is on the roster with his mother.
While most of the challenges are not all physical, I will be paired up with a woman who, at age 50, is an Ironman triathlete. Most of the teams that will be participating know their partner, but Sheila and I (a.k.a. Team Serendipity) are complete strangers, teaming up out of necessity because our own teammates backed out of the competition.
“We now know that our fellow Competitourists are not to be dismissed,” wrote Ally and Bob, a couple from Dallas who have signed on for the competition a second time (the inaugural trip was in March). “It is a mistake to assume anything when one is among the type of people who would sign up for a Competitours trip … not your average bears, as Smokey would say. So, The Screaming Intrepid Monkeys will be swinging on a different vine to reach greater heights, ’cause the big banana is on a higher tree than we thought.”
