The 3-minute video is filmed, the forms are filled out and tomorrow Jason and I are putting our application for the Amazing Race Season 15 in the mail! We figured, worth a try! If we make the show and win that million dollars that would certainly go a along way towards funding this Olympic quadrenial!
In a way, a fencing season is like a season of the amazing race…you travel to many different places where you have to compete while facing all kinds of weird and unexpected challenges. We’ve faced trips to Iran, Algeria, Cuba, and Senegal along with such lovely events as having stuff stolen from our bags (in a South American country which shall remain nameless), lost passports, crazy taxi drivers, staying in an abandoned hotel in Germany in Winter with no heat…you get the idea!
So, we’ll see what happens. The first round interviews are in March so we’ll find out in a few weeks if we make the first cut! I’ll keep you posted!
Have you heard anything from The Amazing Race yet?
Did you guys make it?
I think you would make and interesting team!
That’s just Great Olympians to mow over Grandma and Grandpa!
