No Thor, But Two Spidermen, the Hulk, Batman and a Super Gal Running

Today’s photo of the day is in honor of the movie Thor, which I am incredibly excited to see.

Hulk, Two Spidermen, Batman and a Super Gal

I snapped this photo during the San Jose Challenge Nation scavenger hunt on March 20, 2011. During the event, hundreds of teams dressed up in costumes and ran around San Jose, California, seeking out a dozen clues in a race against time. My team finished in 96th place with a final time of 108:51 minutes, coming in just behind our friends who sprinted to the finish line only to come in 30 seconds earlier.

Our team name was Tiger Blood + Adonis DNA, though our costumes consisted of plastic bags, rabbit ears and face paint after stopping by Walgreens minutes before the start of the race to find whatever we could to “dress ourselves up.” Based on the high-fives and cheers we got, I would say that our last-minute costumes kicked ass!
