Pikes Peak Ascent 2011

 1943 the year my father was born. My lucky number! Pretty awesome.

  
Nathan-3:48 his worse time ever. Let's just say he did a lot of puking and had horrible leg cramps starting at 5 miles to go. Not a good day for him. Poor guy! Nathan's fastest time is a 3:08.

Trinette-5:30 I had a great steady pace. The hardest race I ever do! The cut off time is a 6:30 so I'm pretty proud of myself. The fastest girl got up in 2:34...crazy!

Thia-5:26 My sister Thia.....funniest comment of the day. My sister and I were heading up the Big Mountain (Pikes Peak Ascent) We decide to run past a lady and a guy because they were going too slow. As we past the lady said "Why are they running....and the guy said "I don't know we still have 10 miles to go! My sister said um because it's a race. Granted we do more of fast hiking than running,
that has to be the strangest comment I have ever heard! Really people!

Brad-3:26 My brother-in-law


Nathan, Thia, and Brad all had horrible cramping the last few miles except for me. I really lucked out. It was a hot day and we think they were all low on electrolytes.
