Parting ways

As Tex said, we had some problems with keeping signals to update the blog and even keep contact between vans. We had planned to keep the site up to date with goings on during the run. I'm sure as we all return home, that there will be numerous postings on this site as we all record our thoughts here.

I just want to say that I had a blast! It was great meeting some more Nike+ peeps in person and being able to run with and challenge each other. I just wish we had more time. Some of our runners have already started the trek home. The rest of us will be leaving bright in early in the morning.

The experience was great and it was surprising how well everything came together. We had 12 people throughout the US coming together on one weekend to run 199 mile together. We came and we conquered! We had fun, and we were challenged. In the end we became the team Waiting for Runs!

We crossed the finish line on the beach and a sense of accomplishment filled everyone. We had just ran non stop as a team for 199 miles. The awesome thing is that we guessed our time would be 32:09 and our total time was 32:16, pretty close!

I would like to give a special thanks to GGPRunner for really showing hospitality to our team. She provided lunch and a meeting place when we first arrived, and she supported us all throughout the race. She gave van 2 a place to shower, sleep, & eat as we waited for van 1. She even escorted van 2 to the van relay late Saturday night so that we would be ready for the handoff from van 1.

I will write more tomorrow, I'm dog tired. I may have some time to kil as I wait for my flight tomorrow.
