ON THE RUN to the 3rd Power: Reach the Beach September, 2007

Robin: Year 3 and I'm still asking, "Where's Carlos??"

Well, this is my 3rd year doing this relay race called Reach the Beach . Year One was amazing. Year Two was alright. Year Three was, once again, amazing--amazingly fun! Just A LOT of fun! It's approx. 200 miles (actually, a little more) in 24 hours (actually you get about 36). This year, we started at Cannon Mountain, NH and ran to Hampton Beach, NH.

Our team of 12 had no injuries, everyone ran their three legs and ran them well and we had F-U-N!

This was my 1st year in Van #1 and, I have to say, being in van 1 was easier overall, even though my legs were harder than my previous two years.

Year One we did it in 33:24:41, and finished 11th from last.
Year Two we did it in 33:32:39, and finished 11th from last.
Year Three (this year!) we did it in 32:58:33, and finished 14th from last! woo-hoo!

It's hard to put into words and sentences something that even closely resembles a race report. So instead, I'll just post a bunch of photos.

Race report in photos! I'll post some here. However, note that there are MORE TO COME. :-)
