WE DID IT!

It's come and gone! We trained long and, some of us, hard, and it showed in the results of the Little Grand Canyon Marathon and 10K.

This picture was on the card. Don't know who this nice gentleman and dog are but maybe the photographer does or maybe it was a test picture.
Brad was the first to come across the finish line in approximately 42 minutes. Photographer was helping with infrastructure for the race and therefore could not get a picture of him coming across the finish line!




Brock was right behind at approximately 44 minutes. He says he slept only 1/2 hour the night before and is requesting a rematch with Brad.

Bryce was not far behind at approximately 50 minutes (these numbers are from memory and I plead old age if they are wrong). They all beat the times they were going for by a large amount. They did great!

This picture is just to prove that I actually did it and no one has any proof that I really didn't stop the whole way! Don't know my time, I think about 1 hour 5 minutes.

The photographer missed Patti crossing the finish line. I believe it was about 1 hour 11 minutes. Both old women (older) finished in times well below what they thought and I'm darned proud of both of them.

Tandi was amazing as always. She got first place overall in the women's marathon and probably about 5th overall. Brad tied for 2nd, Brock was 5th and Bryce was about 14th. (The above picture is blurry, but if you notice the objects quite far in the distance, they are as clear as a bell. I thought it was just my eyes. Hmmmm. Sorry guys.)

The runners are joined by the future runners. All in all it was a VERY successful run and a fun weekend with great company. Hard to imagine that it won't be in the back of my mind all the time now that I need to go run. What's next?
