Here we are after hardly any sleep getting ready for our first runner to start. It was SO COLD! Thank goodness for hot chocolate!
This is Mike and HAP waiting for Jeremy to finish his last leg of the relay. (I had already finished my last leg--it was 5 miles, mostly flat with some downhill, my legs were like jelly.)
Jeremy's third leg was 5 miles and mostly uphill. BRUTAL! After Jeremy's leg, our van had two more runners and we ended in Heber. We decided to drive to the finish line in Park City to wait for our team to finish the race. We were all exhausted. I was too tired to take any pictures. I've only been this tired twice in my life and I had just given birth on both occasions.
It took our other van about 3 1/2 hours to finish the race and we all ran to the finish line together (me in flip flops). In this picture, Jeremy and I are right by the old lady in the green pants. The rest of our team is a little farther ahead of us.
Burdette gave us a ride home and we picked up our kids from my parents' house (thanks Mom and Dad). Sleeping after the race wasn't as easy as we hoped. Carter didn't fall asleep until almost 10pm and Will was up bright and early at 6:30 on Sunday morning.The race was awesome and we already registered to do it next year (anyone wanna run?). We're going to start training now though:)
