    I did challenge 1 from week 3 the Sydney bridge climb
    I choose this one because it helps my knee get stronger after bilateral total knee replacement in July of 2016

    Hi there FYI your challenges 2 and 3 are red. You may want to enter them again.

    challenge 2 needs to be one of the challenge 2's from a previous week not a challenge 1.

    and you need to mention it was challenge 3 for the 3rd one.

    CHALLENGE #1 :RACING FOR THE GOLD! From Week 3

    "THE SYDNEY BRIDGE CLIMB” (1332 Combined Steps Up and Down)
    I chose this one as it was an easy one to complete with my kids home for march break and I went up and down the stairs a ton this week.

    CHALLENGE #2: RACING TO LA RÉUNION! From Week 2

    This was an easy one today as the weather was early nice so I managed to go for a 5km walk outside in my neighbourhood.

    @MissionEnforcer week 3 CHALLENGE #1: “THE SYDNEY BRIDGE CLIMB” 1640 steps
    I did this challenge because I feel like it works. Every time I put the effort in to do the steps my calves and legs hurt for days. I also hit our local water park 3 times this week, lots of climbing to the slides, so it was a bit of a no brainer to do this one.

    I choose the Sydney Bridge Climb from week 3. I picked this one because I have stairs in my house and it's pretty easy to just add a few more trips up and down to complete the challenge.

    Challenge 2
    For this one I picked Randonnee on Reunion, 5k outside. The weather has been so nice here this week that it was great to get outside and enjoy it. I love my walks in the morning when the weather is nice.

    The first four green things I ate this week were broccoli, kiwi, green beans, and celery. I've also had mixed greens in a salad, avocado, green peppers, and an apple.

    Team 1 has all their numbers in. We have a bunch of blank spots and open challenges. We could pull this off. We have a couple of people that haven't logged in numbers in a couple of days.

    I can't believe that we are at the end already. In a big way I am happy to be the end of the logging but I will miss the group.. Thank you to all our group leaders. My goal till the next challenge is to not gain back any of those pounds. I had a great time and feel great. If we do this again I would love to be on team4 again. We put up a great fight. Thank you team

    Oh my goodness, we only have like 20 minutes left. I got in as many minutes as I could and now I'm just dead...came so close to maxing out. Really hoping that @plainanjelik and @Queen_S_01 are able to get some challenge numbers in because that would give us a huge bump up! Would be nice to win first place outright just once!

    Smashers, it's been real. Like seriously, so fun. I loved learning about all the new places, the new exercise video options, the friendships we've made here--you all are seriously so inspiring! Hope you are willing to take part in another Amazing Race maybe this summer, or whenever they do one again. You are all awesome. Thanks for the amazing ride.
