Team A: Status Update




Where to even begin... We got to the hotel after leg 2 last night at 11:00 pm, and met back at the RV this morning at 4:00am. Needless to say, the 50 minute drive to our next transition point was full of riveting conversation aka. snoring. This morning's run has brought a lot of smiles though due to finally having less hills.

A few lessons learned from last night's run...

First of all, Super Butch is the fastest man in the world and obviously has super powers. Teammates should never try to run up to the lead vehicle when in the RV behind Butch. Personal experience shows you only appear to be the crazy lady chasing an unachievable target.

Secondly, and most importantly, never jump from a moving RV, but if you think you must, Michelle will be teaching a new safety class on proper fall out form. She has perfected the art of gracefully falling out the door, and eloquently rolling across the shoulder of the road.

Thirdly, apparently falling out of a RV door motivates great running. It is tried and proven to improve your pace a full minute and a half. For more details, see Michelle.

Lastly, do not do your pre-running stretching next to the fire extinguisher. No worries everyone, RV A's fire extinguisher is in great working condition...clean up on aisle 2!

See you next leg!
