We started at 6:45 AM on Friday morning in Huntington Beach:
Here's Alisa finishing up her first leg,
the merman we saw along the way,
me finishing up my first leg (too bad I didn't have a camera on me during the run; you could've seen pictures of the homeless people sleeping under the bridges I ran past),
waiting to begin our second legs (a sassy bunch of women, if I do say so myself),
a beautiful sight we saw along the way (and we did thank him for running with his shirt off),
another beautiful thing we saw,
and our tats, taken at the finish line on Coronado Island.
It was beautiful, hard, hot, sleepless, exhausting, and fun fun fun! Our van was so much fun, and our team's van 2 was awesome (thanks to Valerie for filling in 3 days before the race!)! Thanks especially to my sweetie who crammed all three boys in the back of a mid-size sedan and played single dad for a day and a half so I could go exhaust myself on the race course and be completely useless for a few days following!
Can't wait for Wasatch Back!

So......explain this whole running thing to me. Is this like "It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand?" My brother has been a runner for over 35 years. I just don't get it! But you go Esther! Kick butt!
Ok… I want to do that one!! So. Cal looks so fun. If you ever have a spot on a team, I would love to run it again. Use me as a back up!
Oh those pics make me jealous. But the homeless men under the bridges did confirm my fear :) I am so excited for June 17,18...
Definitely not my last!!
