The reason we made this journey is because Taylor signed up to do a naked run. Not entirely naked but a shirtless 10K race. If you wanted to qualify for a prize (only the top 10 finishers) you could not wear pants, you had to wear shorts. But the runners were allowed to wear hats and gloves.

| This guy was all ready to go in his little booty shorts |
Taylor was trying to get in the top 3, which got a cash prize, so he decided to strip down to shorts.
It was pretty cold! I wore 2 layers of pants and 3 layers on top. Women who ran in the race were only allowed to wear a sports bra.

I know Taylor could have made that top 3...if they hadn't messed up the distance. He was pacing himself to sprint at the end, starting at the 9 km mark. The problem was that the race was shortened to 8.5 km so by the time he was ready to sprint, he was crossing the finish line. He ended up placing 8th in the individual runners. Not bad, right? There was well over 100 runners total but some of them were on teams, who didn't place in the individual rankings. One of the awards he got- a glass paper weight said "8th". The other award he got- a certificate- said 25th place- so maybe that was overall including all the team runners?

| Taylor with Dan, one of the Seoul Flyers. They did not run with their shirts on. |

| Not sure what Happy 700 means...maybe something to do with the 2018 Olympics? |
