First things first, We are AWESOME!
I'm sure you already knew that but I needed to be positive. Or team totally rocked it out and we were the Co-Ed team champs! Third over all! Once again we separated the teams into boys van, girls van. Crucial when driving for 24 hours straight and not sleeping. We don't want to share with them and they don't want to share with us. The guys ran first this year and got us off to a great start. They also all decided to grow mustaches, totally gross but funny. Seans was way to creepy and huge though.
Mario and Luigi. (random)
Borat Mankini. (costume contest)
While we waited in the park for the boys van the girls freehanded a t-Rex body tattoo on me for the tattoo leg. Pretty amazing the just busted it out with a fruit snacks box as a guide. Nice work Katie, Grace, and Caroline.
Ladies turn to run! The guys cheered us on for a few until it was time for them to go and rest. Seriously look at Seans stach sick.
We run this race not only because we think it's crazy fun, we also run it in memory of our friend Erik, he also loved to do crazy things with running and would love to do relays. Mariza stopped for a moment to say hi to him as she crossed the Bowl and Pitcher bridge. Us girls also posed with the memorial that his name is on in Mission Park.
My turn to run finally. Being the 12th runner is fun but it takes forever for your turn. I was quite excited to get it done and get out of my leotard, it was 1 size to small ouch.
Then the boys got the camera and took creepy pics of their nasty mustaches. Sean, Jason, Rick, Eric, Chris, Blake in all their Glory.
I had quite the crash on my second leg. Good thing I only had half a mile to go when it happened. It felt way worse then it looks, then a few days later it got pretty scabby.
The final leg is when we start to go a little crazy. No sleep and too much 5 hour energy make us all a little loopy. The other teams didn't know what to do with us.
I was the last leg this year. That's a hard leg, waiting so many hours to get in 3 runs. It felt like less rest because you wake up when your team does but you still have to wait for 5 runners to go. But finally I got to run it in!
TEAM ERIKSAUROUS REX ROCKET IT THIS YEAR! GO TEAM!
