Marathon

These T-shirts cracked us up! Too bad they were $29....



This is my team. Kathie (on the right) did the first 6.2, I did the next 8.3, and Erin did the last 2 legs, which was 11.7.

This is our group from Bismarck! We had 3 teams. The gal next to Kathie in the front (her sister) was originally supposed to run the first leg of our team, but we realized at the last minute that she couldn't do both the half and the relay since the routes had changed. We also had a last minute sub on a different team, but she is not in the picture.

The community of Fargo put on an awesome race! There was lots of "good will" going on-we had to stand in the pouring rain to wait for our exchange shuttle. A gal in a Humvee let us wait with her. I couldn't find my shuttle after my race to get back to the Dome. Some young gals offered me a ride. Lots of people along the route to cheer, clap, ring cowbells, play music, and plenty of people had hoses/sprinklers to spray the runners to help keep them cool.
During my last 2 miles of my leg, I kept thinking that I am never doing this again, I will stick with 5Ks and 10Ks......five minutes after I was done I was thinking of signing up for the half in Bismarck this Fall.....
