Join Me on an Unforgettable Journey: My Experience as a Contestant on Amazing Race Season 37

As I reflect on my incredible journey as a contestant on Amazing Race Season 37, I feel a wave of excitement! The competition brought exhilarating twists and moments of connection with my longtime friend, Carrigain Scadden. The show premieres on March 5th on CBH, and I can't wait for you to join us on this unforgettable ride!

Being a part of this iconic reality show is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You don’t just race around the world; you create memories that will last forever. As a personal trainer from Dallas, Texas, I thrive on competition. Racing alongside Carrigain, a friend for years, made it all the more thrilling.

The Call to Adventure

When I first got the call saying I was selected, it felt surreal! All those years watching the show and cheering for teams from my couch led to this moment. Soon, I would be jet-setting around the globe, facing challenges that would test both my physical and mental limits.

The day I broke the news to Carrigain was unforgettable. Her eyes lit up with excitement, and we both knew we were ready for this adventure. Having a partner who shares the same enthusiasm is critical, especially in a competition as intense as this.

Training for the Race

Preparation for Amazing Race was no small task. While I maintain a fitness level as a personal trainer, I had to elevate my training. I focused on building endurance and agility by incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and obstacle courses into my workouts.

Facing the Challenges

The challenges during filming were as diverse as the countries we visited.

The chaos of the surroundings was exhilarating; the energy of the people and culture was captivating. There were stressful moments of uncertainty, but the thrill of living fully in the experience far outweighed them.

The Bonds We Formed

Beyond the challenges, the people we met enhanced our journey. From locals who welcomed us with open arms to fellow contestants who became friends, every relationship shaped our experience.

Carrigain and I often reflected on how the adventure brought us closer. Sharing physical and emotional challenges created bonds that I know will last a lifetime. Facing difficulties together transforms friendships into something unbreakable.

Learning and Growing

One of the biggest lessons I learned from Amazing Race is the power of resilience. At times, we found ourselves in tough spots, and instead of giving up, we adapted and pushed through.

This spirit of determination is something I carry with me both personally and professionally. I encourage viewers to not only cheer for contestants, but to embrace the valuable life lessons that come from the competition.

The Countdown to Premiere

As the premiere date approaches, my anticipation grows. I know what to expect, but I am just as excited for all of you to watch our journey unfold. The challenges, laughter, and tears come together to create a compelling story.

For anyone considering applying to be a contestant on Amazing Race, I highly recommend it. This experience blends adventure, friendship, and personal growth in a way that is truly unique.

Looking back on my time on the show, I feel overwhelming gratitude. Every day was a gift, and I treasure having shared this adventure with Carrigain. Winning isn’t everything; it’s the memories made and the journey traveled that matter most.
