The scenery was not very pretty. Desert landscaping. Maybe it was just hard to appreciate it in the blistering heat. I love to run in temps in the 60's not high 80's.
Our van load before the race - Karen Goins, McKayla, me, Tonya Cole, Jacobson Cole, and Phillip Adamson. Our race gear was supposed to include the plaid boxers and a plaid bandana but we soon got to hot for any extra clothing.
All of us at the finish line (not looking a lot worse for wear but maybe feeling it!)
The entire team at the finish - Alex Adamson, Josh Harker, Danny Adamson, Phillip Adamson, Jake Cole, me, McKayla, Tonya Cole and (front row) Kristine, Rose, Carina, and Karen Goins.
McKayla and I at the finish.
Our impressive number of "kills".
191 miles (lost runner so we did 3 extra)
31 hours
12 runners
2 1/2 hours sleep
85 degree temps
2 vans
over 140 "kills"
dozens of tired muscles
HUNDREDS OF MEMORIES!!!
I'm so proud of you and McKayla!! That is quite the accomplishment. Congrats!! Now get some sleep!! :) Yes, I am feeling better. Thanks for the message!! :) Love ya!!!
ReplyDeleteWow running on no sleep sounds crazy to me... 80 doesn't sound too hot to me:) way to go you crazy girlies! What's a kill?
ReplyDeleteSabs - 80's probably sound great to you but I am a certified heat wimp! A "kill" is when you pass another runner. I didn't account for too many of those (but McKayla did). It was a good thing we didn't keep track of "deaths" (when you get passed) - I would've been embarrassed! heehee!
