The Amazing Race

There’s an awesome new adventure playground in the capital! If you don’t know about it already, make sure you head to Abu Dhabi’s Al Forsan complex near Yas. We ventured down last weekend to compete in their inter-media competition called ‘The Amazing Race’. An entire afternoon of ‘friendly’ games, but everyone knows just how competitive I can be, so I definitely came prepared to win!

The twitter chat set the tone… we were hungry for a victory already! With agency vs. agency, magazine vs. blogger, PR vs. media, we were put into 3 teams of 8 (Team Green all the way).

Round 1) Paintballing! (a great way to relieve any couples tension too FYI)

Round 2) Equestrian (so it turns out… i’m extremely allergic to horses!) but they were just SO beautiful I couldn’t NOT get a snap 🙂

Round 3) Go-Karting! For anyone that knows me… you know why we won!

Round 4) Wakeboarding! (my first time ever and not the most glamorous pose I admit…)

We didn’t get to hang around for the final activity, missing out on the shooting element (where we would have DOMINATED fyi) and after such an amazing day, we came second overall (and got in a great workout)!
