I wore too many clothes and compression socks (it was really cold in the morning) but then it started to heat up. And it was an 8 mile uphill leg. Horrible. I know how you feel. It sounds like you rocked it though!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12618444346641685121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918472490658203767.post-29610890614702893982011-09-06T07:30:33.869-07:002011-09-06T07:30:33.869-07:00Lots of obstacles and you came through it well.

I know how mentally tough it can be when awaiting something to be there - in this case your teammates - and then feeling a crushing defeat when they aren't there. But you kept moving your legs and kept pushing through to the end. Having your dad there must have been so awesome for you and really an extra perk of all of this experience.<br /><br />In my one and only relay experience, we also hit some lows but like you said that made us appreciate the whole thing even more because the lows were vastly outnumbered by the highs.L.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03932409909043501781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918472490658203767.post-70368084204590094572011-09-05T22:27:07.420-07:002011-09-05T22:27:07.420-07:00You did great, Lisa!

I know allllll about waiting all day ;-) And I know a little about not having the van meet up with me, too. (But in my case it was logistically and physically impossible) But we did it and we did it WELL!!! I sure hope we get to do it again!XLMIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268964638359962511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918472490658203767.post-34927529536494468232011-09-05T20:43:50.892-07:002011-09-05T20:43:50.892-07:00Hi, I ran the same leg as you about 3:30 that afte...Hi, I ran the same leg as you about 3:30 that afternoon. I had the same experience you did - it was so freakin' hot! When I got done, I went into Safeway, opened up one of the frozen foods coolers, and just stood there. I enjoy reading your recap and look forward to your take on the other two legs!<br /><br />LindaLinda W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00805197763483105000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918472490658203767.post-16561223695749308762011-09-05T20:36:02.260-07:002011-09-05T20:36:02.260-07:00great recap...can we all just go back?? you did a ...great recap...can we all just go back?? you did a amazing job on this run!!H Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695646661289938406noreply@blogger.com
