It's been over a year since the race itself, but here I am just now getting to the race-reports. I'll start by uploading a shit-ton of photos and filling in the blanks as I find the time.
Myself, Elaine and Javier with the infamous Hal Higdon!
Foreshadowing? You know you're in trouble when
your knee looks like this BEFORE a race!
I've never run from one country to another before, nor have I ever tried
to smuggle something across the border while competing in a race!
My gear, morning of the race
Race morning at the starting line
Annnnnd... we're off!
Water station already?? Yeah right.
This 1+ mile up-hill/down-hill was my early indicator
that my knee would not behave today
 |
| The view from Canada! |
 |
| Running back through the tunnel, under the Detroit River |
 |
| Crossing the border, except this time under water! |
 |
| Emerging from the tunnel! |
 |
| I think this was my first water-stop, nearly 7-8 miles in. |
 |
| Great music along the way, including this jazz/rock band! |
 |
| And this Spanish fellow and his nino! |
 |
| This highschool drum-line was AWESOME! |
 |
| But not as awesome as this dude handing out M&Ms!! |
 |
| How could I resist? Hint: I couldn't! |
 |
| Hula-hooping cheerleaders! |
 |
| Crossing over into Belle Isle |
 |
| The end is in sight! Aim for the tall buildings!! |
 |
| Part of our awesome support team! |
 |
| In the (lack of) words of Undercover Brother, "Solid" |
 |
| Hangin' on for dear life. |
 |
| Oh so close!... |
 |
| Sweet relief, we did it! |
 |
| DONE! |
 |
