Austin Marathon Relay: Texas Toast!
Monday, September 22, 2008 at 3:15PM | 1 Comment | in Our Personal Family, Friends & Travel Posts | Email Article This weekend my mom & I competed in the Austin Marathon Relay! Teams of 5 gathered together to complete a marathon. The 5 legs of the race were the 10k, 11k, 11, 5k, & another 5k. We ran with my roommate, Becca, and 2 other good high school friends who I used to play soccer with, Carly & Andrea. Everyone did such a great job! I lucked out and rock-paper-scissored my way into running the first leg, the 10k...a good distance, good race-energy, and good weather! An hour or 2 later the temperature rose 10 degrees and it was pretty miserable running weather. Carly (who got to run in the hottest part of the day) & the rest of the gang toughed it out and finished trememdously!
Pre-race, right after we rock-paper-scissored our running order. We are all a bit sleeply still.
Andrea, after she did an amazing 11k!
3rd leg hand-off...Becca passing the "baton" to my mom. Becca's all smiles all the time.
My mom...ecstatic to be done with her really HOT 4-th leg.
Carly, bringing in the finish line...and so happy about it :)
Here's the team: Texas Toast! Maybe we'll be back for more next year....and maybe we'll win the $100,000 first place prize???
