Thor was a real trooper and got up at 6:30 to drive both me and our friend Stacy downtown. He then hung out with us and collected our jackets right before the race so we didn't get too chilly.
Here's a shot Thor snapped of us as we're rounding the corner into the final 1/4-mile of the race. I realize it's hard to see us, but it's the only 'action' shot we have!
Post race: Me, Joanna, Jessica, Katy & Stacy. We dressed up as belly dancers with jangly hip & head scarves thanks to Joanna and her huge quantity of belly dancing attire. The race went well - we didn't set any land speed records (although Jessica tried hard to pace set for us the entire race), but we DID run the whole time so that was a plus!
All in all it was a really fun morning - we continued our post-Run Like Hell tradition of brunch at the VQ afterwards and all had amazing breakfasts (complete with well earned breakfast cocktails - lovely!)
I can't believe you did a 10K run and then did a bike race in the afternoon. Go you! (even if you are tired!) Why does Ms Bellydancing Joanna have her abs covered up in that last picture?
ReplyDeletebecause it was freakin' chilly outside and she was probably the only smart one of the bunch! she ran with her shirt tucked up though!
