Dare, Double Dare, Physical Challenge.

I loved Double Dare on Nickelodeon. Mark Sommers managed to ask questions that I was always ready to answer and something about jumping into piles of slime or slide down an oversized foam mouth to capture a flag was for sure the kind of challenge I was more than ready for. I can't even remember what the prizes were. It could have been a lifetime supply of Capri Sun and I still would have wanted nothing more than to be on the show.

As Double Dare and other shows like Legends of the Hidden Temple moved their way to the game show tomb known as The Game Show Network, my eagerness to achieve something completely fun and difficult hasnt changed.

Enter my mucha-motivated best friend. She shall remain nameless, but this girl has the type of motivation for physical exertion that you only see on HBO Sports. Well, with out further adieu her sucess and badgery finally sank in and I've commited myself to participating in a duathlon in July. Similar to the well-known triathlon, a duathlon takes out the swimming and rotates a 2 mile run, 27 mile bike ride and finishes with a 3.1 mile run.

This will not be the last time you hear about my 2010 adult version of Double Dare. So here we are, something big to commit to in the new year that not only can be a really cool achievement, but a way for myself and my three best friends to kick some ass as a team.
