River to Sea

92 miles across New Jersey. 14 legs. 7 runners. We each run two legs.

We finished 30 minutes faster than last year. Our elapsed time was 9 hours and 58 minutes and we were the 11th team to reach the sea.

I ran a 6.5 mile leg through hail and downpour. It was actually a lot of fun although I was worried cars were going to hit me. The second leg I ran was the "wildcard" leg which you can split up anyway you want with another teammate. This was 14 miles and my teammate, and I switched off every two miles for the first 12 miles and then for the last two miles, we each did one of those. It turned out we got the mileage wrong though and instead of running the last mile, I ran for like 400 meters. Haha.

Other things:
1-Our first runner on the FIRST leg almost got hit by a car. Don't ever think that old people don't have good reaction time because this old lady slammed on her breaks just as our runner wandered aimlessly into the middle of the road after his leg.

2-Someone brought one of those big drinking boot cups to the afterparty and Depends. You can gather from that it was a great afterparty. Oh and my friend tried to jump off the balcony into the pool at the party location house.

3-I woke up under a pool table. Apparently I thought it made sense to sleep under there.
