Waiting On Runner 2, Ready For My 11.1mi Leg

Team captain Adam and Amy at a checkpoint waiting on Matt to give him water. Once Matt is done, I start my run.

Sun came out, but the high is supposed to be 67, so this shouldn't be too bad. Mostly sore, sleep deprived, malnourished and a bit loopy.

Van 2 Is Ready For the Final Leg


We cover 43+mi today starting in an hour or so one the final runner from van 1 arrives.

A serious marine layer bodes well for the temperatures. Anything is better than what we had to endure yesterday.

Second Leg Done

Van 2 is well under way. I just finished my second leg and busted out an 8:27 pace, which is pretty good for me at 2:15am. It was only 3.9mi, which is fine because I have an almost half marathon to run at around noon today.

Van 1 hates us right now because this is their time to sleep and we are hitting record times and only have about 22 miles for this segment. They can sleep this afternoon when we have to polish off the last 43 miles.

Reached Our Campground For The Night

Very nice area. Surprised the resort is letting is crash on their golf course.

Beautiful scenery too. Hope to get 3hrs of sleep.

It Is 96 And The Heat Index Is 1,008.4

Holy crap it is hot in Corona at 1pm and anyone running in this heat has a mental defect.

Next leg for me is at 1am and I pray it is a cool 30 degree desert night.

Van 2 Is Under Way

Our fearless leader Adam at about mile 4 of his 8.8mi leg.

We Spared No Expense On Van Decorations

Used only the finest copy paper and clearest packing tape.
