When I first read about the whole thing on Couch Surfing around 4pm Saturday I wasn't sure if I should come (thanks to Brandon who did an amazing job to post it there and actually got me and a other person into it).
Then I decided it would be better just to go there instead of hanging out at home.

So I got ready in like 40 min, jumped on the train (which I almost missed) and ran down to the meeting point.
It was amazing! There were so many people standing there! I thought, that there might be 50-70 but when I came around the corner the place was filled!

They gave us the blue and pink ribbons and I still believed that I would never have to give up the blue!
The run started and over 200 people just ran in one direction. I saw other people starring at us with faces like "crazy people in chicago running all in the same direction". I was so out of shape that my lungs burned after a few feet and I had to slow down even if the adrenaline was pushing through my venes.

I always turned around and looked for chasers everywhere. Then I saw one coming down the way on his bike and we just started to run again. My muscles started to burn and I really wished that I would have went to the gym more often in the last couple months.
But we got safe to Checkpoint one and could stamp our paper! That was a great feeling.

I was still with Brandon and he did a good job while guiding me to the next checkpoint. We went into a parking lot, met other runners in an elevator and ran through Target, always looking for Chasers.
The teacher on the second point were awesome!
We went down the bridge after we got our stickers.
And then I saw it, THE CHICKEN ON THE BIKE. I remembered that Dax said something about it and so I told Brandon.
We started running and ran into the Walgreens parkinglot (where they have a drive through). I was weigh behind Brandon and so I tried to escaped behind the car. But the chicken got me at the end and so I became a Chaser.

Now I had a serious problem, didn't I come here to see the city of Chicago and meet new people?
I was there without my blue ribbon and didn't even know where I was.
The German girl lost in Chicago.... But at least I'm not that bad in reading maps and so I got the direction where to go. When I was standing on the light and was studying my card someone tipped me on my shoulder and said "it's green, you can go" I looked up and just saw a blue band on his arm.... So I cought my first one.
He and me hunted together and so I got 2, 3 and 4.
He left me at Checkpoint 3 and I called Brandon who got caught, too. So I was waiting for him and still tried to catch other runner.
After we were reunited we called the number on the phone to find out what the hidden point was.
We found it and they signed Checkpoint 4 for us. (We could choose between 3, 4 or 5.)

But we stilll walked to Chinatown to see Checkpoint 4. We ate there (amazing food!!!) and after one hour we started to Checkpoint 5 (Tara came with us). We met an other guy who had mustard all over and he told us that a girl tried to defend her helf while spitting it at him (but he cought her anyways, hehe!).
We found Checkpoint 5 under a bridge and there were four other player who were still blue!!!

After they ran away (we were too tired and too full to hunt them ;-) ) we walked to the finish line where we found a bunch of people. It was amazing to hear that over 50 people were still "alive"!
I was very proud of myself that I walked everywhere and didn't even use the CTA once! :-D

At the end congratulation to all of the players who were still blue at the end and to the other one, who finished the game and didn't give up, too!

Thanks to all the guys who made this possible and I really hope I'll find some people to make this work in Munich!
(If someone knows if there is something like that already in Munich or just wants to give me some tips and advise, please send me a message I would be happy to hear from you guys! ;-)
