Chiditarod2009
This was my first Chiditarod. This was the fourth year of the Chicago Chiditarod,it's a combo bar crawl/food drive/costumed grocery cart race. Last year they collected 3000 pounds of canned goods for the Chicago food pantry. I hope that this year's event does as well, if not better. We had a cart full of food, and yes, it was heavy and hard to push through the poring rain and puddles ( Thank you to the sweeties who brought cans ). And Yes, it was REALLY cold, esp. when you are soggy, but we did it- towards the end my team mates started trading off cans of food for shots of vodka and beer. We also cheated and skipped the last check-in spot and went straight to the finish line. Hey,I'm not a total glutton for punishment. There wasn't too much sabotage ( some fake maps, stink bombs, and fake blood) but we were also like one of the last team, we didn't really race, we kinda' "cruised" so.. other than that it was smooth sailing all the way. This also why I have a cold.
It was worth it though- I did something different and fun and for a good cause!
