Cuddly Cacti

Date: 7/2/2019

I'm on a trip to the Grand Canyon with family. It's the lowest place on Earth. It's the end of the world. An older Aussie is making a YouTube tour video. Trying to get the clicks, he cuddles with cacti on the ledge of a trail and is fine. I'm on a race around Chicago apparently, and we find out we're supposed to race to to the top of Sears Tower. I'm motivated and strong but I get delayed going to the bathroom and waiting for teammates. I realize other stuff is going on and I'm out of contention.
