<p>I always love this race! Your report (and pictures!) of this event is something I look forward to every year. Looks like you had another great time with it. Love the sunglasses part! You're so fortunate to be able to do something like this with your sister. Thanks for sharing it with us! (I'll go back and read this again a couple times, there's a lot here!)</p>
Longest race report EVAH--Twin Lobster Special rides again!
<p>I've been busy in the last few weeks rehabbing my plantar fasciitis after Boston, and recommitting to my resistance workouts. Yesterday, though, I took my plantar fascia out for a spin to see how she'd hold up.</p>

<p>My twin sister, Karin, and I ran the Great Urban Race here in Boston. For those of you who haven't been bored by my lengthy reports of this race in the past, here's a brief description. Teams of 2 solve clues and run through the Boston metropolitan area to various checkpoints to beat the clock. Is it a scavenger hunt? A road race? A sight-seeing tour? Mayhem? All of the above. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Clues can be solved in any order, and teams can navigate the city by running or using public transit. Teams are allowed to skip one clue, and deciding which clue to skip can be crucial to the strategy. If you arrive at the finish line with an incorrect clue, there is a 30 minute penalty assessed. </p>

<p>I'll get into the race details in the next post.</p>
