We have arrived very late. The twelve signs near to the town - I am unsure if an individual switched the sign slightly or what - but that needed us nearly half an hour, running forward and backward. We visited the wrong perfect the wall, so some nice youthful kids directed us right finish in the wall. It absolutely was so dark that individuals ended up available the wall and finally we found the clues lower below, that your couple of from the teams drove up and spotted immediately. It aided to experience a little sunlight. It needed us quite a while. As we had that, we're able to mind towards the city pretty fast. We lost the required time. We'd not seen almost every other team. We figured it absolutely was in regards to the finish.Why maybe it had been so difficult to get the region?Cathi: It absolutely was a very small place, nevertheless the actual wall can be a fence kind of component that circles just a little peak.

We'd great luck in Copenhagen while using directions as well as the driving, but no such luck here.Amazing Race's Justin and Jennifer: It absolutely was a "huge mistake" not biking backWhy weren't you more aggressive?Cathi: We're pretty rule-bound. After they say "go the published posted speed limit," we go the published posted speed limit. Once we were to make it happen again, we wouldn't go the published posted speed limit.

So next, it absolutely was like, "Perform best you'll be able to, enjoy every minute" which we did. Just before the race began, the philosophy was "nearly all you will be removed," and that means you use knowning that and knowing you're going for any huge risk submitting yourself. Nevertheless it was certainly useful.How will you retain in this fit condition? In my opinion everyone desires to look much like everybody do inside their 60s.Cathi: [Laughs] Perhaps you have like how a bodybuilder observed that?Amazing Race's Liz and Marie: Our cabbie ripped us offThey paid out you more compliments in comparison as to the they did almost every other team.Cathi: I realize!
