We talked all about the jump (we have the video!), the hardest part of the race so far, and all the other things you didnРІР‚в„ўt see on screen. The flood of emotions impacted the rest of our day (not in a good way).

ItРІР‚в„ўs easy to say, of course, but when faced with the drop РІР‚В¦ I panicked. I would have tears in my eyes, but I would do it. Falling? Even at extreme heights? That would be me. So many other challenges would require strength and speed and that needed to be Penn.

Taking A LeapР”В¬oming into The Amazing Race, I had made the decision I would do the РІР‚Сљfalling off of thingsРІР‚Сњ challenges. I would have to jump off the Valle Verzasca Dam in Switzerland, at 722 feet, itРІР‚в„ўs the second highest bungee jump in the world. I ripped open the clue and learned I would have to take the leap. I was mentally prepared that, at some point, I would have to do something other than РІР‚В¦ sit on the couch. (My heart is racing just thinking about it while cozying up on my couch.)Р”Р„s a contestant on The Amazing Race you can assume that you will be jumping off or climbing up something terrifying. Nothing brings me more joy than just sitting on the couch. IРІР‚в„ўm not a thrill-seeking adrenaline junky. IРІР‚в„ўm just afraid of FALLING from high places. HereРІР‚в„ўs the thing, IРІР‚в„ўm not afraid of heights.
