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.

Whatcha Got to eat?

Here is a semi correct account of what I consumed during my time of the relay. This may be just filler or someone may find it interesting. Don't know. (I'm trying to recall all of this, so...)

Friday Night - (Pre Race Dinner at Calistoga Inn)
Chicken with Mango salsa, roasted Potatoes, Corn, bread, (not cornbread) Strawberry/Rhubarb crumble with Ice cream, Ice tea

Saturday Morning -
Before Relay (6 AM) - banana
At first Van Relay (10 AM) - Apple Chicken Sausage omlette with potatoes. Muffin & Diet Coke.

Saturday Afternoon-
pre run (1PM) - mixed nuts & GU (not together though)
After first Leg (3 PM) - PowerBar Recovery bar & 8 oz gatorade
Afternoon Snack (5 PM) - Granola bar

Saturday Evening -
Dinner (7PM) - Ham & Cheese Sandwich & Minostrone Tortollini Soup, Diet Dr Pepper.
Sometime in the evening - more granola bars, more mixed nuts, and an energy drink with a funny name.

Late Night - mixed nuts, some dark chocolate pieces, more granola bars, some kind of chocolate mint thing, 100 calorie pack of something, it was there and I ate it :)

Sunday Morning -
After 2nd leg ( 3:15 AM)PowerBar Recovery bar & 8 oz gatorade

Late Morning - Peanut Butter sandwich, mixed nuts, more granola bars, another of those energy drinks with a funny name that makes your skin glow :)

After 3rd Leg (12:30 PM) PowerBar Recovery bar & 8 oz gatorade

After 4th Leg (4:00 PM) Ate something, probabably granola bars & mixed nuts :) and a diet coke & water

Finish Line ( 5:00 PM) Chicken sandwich, salad, fruit, soup & PIE!

I know there are some missing things in there, I guess just add granola bars and mixed nuts in those locations along with water & gatorade.

I think your fans may want to know the name of your "skin glow" drink. :) We may even have a good photo of it somewhere.
