Number 8 was a nice college reunion and my second ‘thon in my thirties. It was a great weekend getting a chance to hang out with Petey Pabs and Mrs. Wax (aka Goo) while over using the phrase “Ch-Choo!” We were also over-achievers and got in a small hike the day before the race. There was a friendly bet with the 2 “half” times vs. the “full” … let’s just say it resulted in many post-race drinks and celebration (minus the Pats losing against the Broncos).

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the race itself — I was expecting it to be boring and not so pretty, but Phoenix proved me wrong with [mediocre] bands and wonderful views of the mountains and greenery!
