Lake to Lake Relay

Yesterday was the 50 mile Lake to Lake relay starting at Gunlock and finishing at Sand Hollow. Last year we did a sister's team and had so much fun we couldn't wait to do it again. Kaelee is 6,000 miles away so Erin, my sister-in-law, joined the team this year. We were Twinkle Toes and made our own cute/ghetto shirts and were all glittered out. We had so much fun and the day seriously flew by.

We challenged the men in our family to put together a brother's team and run against us, but they didn't come through. But our cousins accepted our challenge and put together an all-sibling's team (three brothers, two sisters). We've been talking trash back and forth for a few months. We knew they would have an advantage since they had three boys, but they weren't as well trained as we were, so it was up in the air. Surprisingly, we were almost exactly the same pace so we pretty much got to spend the entire day with them. In the end they beat us by three minutes, but they did have boys on their team, so we're okay with that.

Our finish time was 7:12:42, which we were pretty happy with. At the awards banquet we were completely shocked when they called our name for 6th place in the all-female division (out of 34)! Totally awesome. I'm so proud of my girls and can't wait to do it again!
