Once again, the race started on a rainy Saturday where 10 teams of 2 set off from Pacific Colesium. Unlike previous Vancouver races in 2006 and 2007, this time, the race focused on Vancouver East area instead of the west.
The race literally took "lactose intolerant" to a new height where teams have to complete a Detour choosing between 2 litre of milk or 500 grams of plain yougrt. Then, a Merge forced the teams to work together to finish 1 bucket of ice cream. Other than that, teams were challenged to find their clue by digging through sands; in addition, they need to find their way in China Town between "Lost In Translation" and "Lost In Transaction."
A new twist "Roundabout" appeared in this race which teams have to map out their own route that worked best in their advantage to 2 different destinations. Then, they need to collect the clues from each location to figure out their way to the pit stop. "Roundabout" sure threw the teams into a loop and definitely tested the teams knowledge about the city. Of course, the new twists from the TV show, "U-Turn", appeared in this race as well, and teams were not hesitated of using it.
In the end, the underdog Bonnie and Brian fought their way and claimed the title of the winner of 2008 Vancouver race. And Garry and Tina, who almost gave up and wanted to quit the race due to a frustrating digging task, came close in second place. It definitely proves once again that the race has its infinite possibility. It is not the end for anyone until crossing the finish line!

Over all, I hope everyone had a great time despite the gag reflex feeling they may have when they try to run with all kinds of food in their stomach. It was not a easy race to produce but it was definitely another great success.
