Well, the relay has come and like all great events it was over too fast. Everyone is heading home, a few left last night. A few are leaving today, and the rest are staying a few extra days and enjoying California.
It was a great adventure, it is amazing how well everything went with all of us not having met each other and traveling into the city. We had a great support group and team members really stepped up and ensured that we had reservations, map books, food items, and everything else that we needed.
Now that the event is over, we are all looking forward to the next time that we can all get together and run as one! I will be updating the blog today with some of my recollections, I couldn't get my camera to upload my pictures, so I will be uploading those at a later date. Hopefully we will be able to get all of the pictures in one online location.
I'm also sure that the Gnome's exploits will be well documented and videod somewhere! I raise my bottle of water to Team Waiting For Runs - you were all great company and a great team. We came and conquered!
Again, a hearty thanks to GGPRunner, who was such a great hostess and welcomed us into her home and helped us tremendously, to all of our Nike+ supporters and those who donated - a special thank you to Henk who donated twice for $180, to MightyWeezie, the supplier of the limited edition Relay WeezieWipes, to Texasbuckeye for all of his planning and legwork, to mawz for her awesome relay handbooks and minimaps and for her planning, challenge creation and donation setup, thanks to both Susie & Alex for kicking in more money to pay for van rental, gas, & shipping of our relay equipment, to all of my team mates for accomplishing an amazing feat. Sorry for anyone that I missed, (still working the cobwebs out :) )
It was great people, hopefully we will all meet again soon!
