Texas Independence Relay Info

The Texas Independence Relay is composed of 40 relay legs of various lengths, totaling over 200 miles. The course starts in Gonzales, TX, where the Texas Revolution began, and it finishes at the San Jacinto Monument, where Texas Independence was won!

The relay will run from March 7th - 8th.

8 original Waiting for Runs Relay members will be returning (we will miss abelisle, the Foos, & Mystery runner)

This time, we will up the challenge and have 9 runners in a luxurious 15 passenger van. This means no resting time for the 2nd van.

Keep an eye out here for updated info and up to the minute updates.

My first Leggggggg!

5 miles - Beautiful area, beautiful weather! I started out feeling good and tried to enjoy the scenery sans headphones (not allowed) for my iPod. My route had 4 turns, all clearly marked! I ran through a quaint little town before my last turn after which was the final 3.2 mile stretch to pass the "baton" to texasbuckeye!

At a point I see two port-o-johns coming up and according to my Nike + they are at a little over 5 miles. I'm think that is the baton exhange, but to my dismay as I get closer the runner's are still about half a mile down the road. I mawz-sprint the last 100 meters or so to a 5.5 mile reading-on-the-Nike+, red-faced, hyperventilating finish, but HEY I finished it!

See you at Leg 17!!! Go Team Waiting For Runs!
