A Few Things I Didn’t Tell You About RTB Relay

Admittedly, my race recaps aren’t overwhelmingly interesting. In an effort to keep things short and sweet, I find I leave out some of the juicier parts of the race.

For example a key challenge during Reach the Beach Relay was that up until a week and a half before the race, I was only scheduled to complete 10 miles. Not having time to train properly for having to run 17.5 miles was a big, scary challenge. I failed to mention that in my recap, which would have helped to explain my nerves.

The other thing I failed to mention about that race specifically, is that we were being filmed throughout the entire 30 hour race by Jack of Pixel Wire Media. They are creating a video blog series documenting our adventure.

Waiting for Gretchen to come in and pass the "baton" before starting my 3rd leg of the relay. Jack's in the background filming.

The first “episode” went live on Friday. It’s fun seeing how it’s coming together. I look forward to seeing the rest of the videos to see what it would have been like to be in Van #2.

If you are wondering, YES I am that big of a dork!

    What a great video! Especially loved the campfire at the end. The night run is what I would have been most nervous about also.
