Colorado Relay

The Colorado relay is looming! Here’s the scoop: 11 of us are heading to Colorado tomorrow morning to run 170 miles across Colorado, in something like 24-28 hours, non-stop. Yep through rain or snow and dark of night we will be running, that’ll be us, yep, sounds like fun….I keep telling myself that.

The logistics of this race have been kind of a pain but fortunately our fearless leader the Dread Pirate has pulled it all together and it looks like everything is a go. Lots of kudos to her!

There are 10 runners, mostly Outlaws, and one driver and two vans. Even the most staunch of athletes succumbs to scheduling problems so our two backup runners are now full members of the team. And we are short a driver, it looks like we will be taking turns at the wheel. Hopefully the Dread Pirate won’t lash us if we make a wrong turn or something!

I get to run leg 4, 14 and 24 which translates to a run in the morning, a run in the late evening around 8:00 pm and another run in the early morning.

This should be an adventure!
