Hood to Coast was August 22nd and 23rd. It was the most physical activity I ever set myself to do. I ran three legs (6, 18, and 30) totalling 15.72 miles. I had a blast. I'm actually starting to look forward to doing it next year.
I wore a Garmin Forerunner the entire time. I had my data uploaded to Motionbased.com. You can review my legs (1) (2) (3) from that site. I ran sub-nine minute miles on all my legs, and I'm quite pleased about that. Given my estimated time (slower), it meant that I took approximately 15 minutes off our total estimated time, making up for a few members that had even more difficult legs.
I slept about 2 hours during the run. After meetin' the team at the finish line, Betsey picked me up, and we moseyed over to the "Love Shack" that our dear friends Pam & Mark allowed us to borrow for the weekend.
We took the scenic way home and stopped in at a home made sausage place and at the Flying Duthman winery. It was a really grand weekend full of great memories and beautiful vistas.
