What a weekend! Let me just say that I really have never seen anything quite like the Wasatch Back Relay! It is brutally beautiful. The Live wElle tea
ms did an amazing job of showing everyone on the coarse just what great running and wonderful sportsmanship is all about. Talk about a great bunch of gals...It was my pleasure this year just to be driving them from hand off to hand off! 188 miles of road, some consisting of rocks. roots, and ruts. It was hot and then COLD for most of the two days and at the end the rain came DOWN!!! Even in the rain the gals were able to come in almost 1/2 hour ahead of their scheduled finish time. When we left on Saturday they were in 2nd place and in 3rd over all! Not bad for the "sub-masters" class they were running in!The Live wElle team runs for the Live wElle foundation founded in honor of Kirsten's daughter Elle who died in a tragic accident. Kirsten is the tiny little blonde who I have now re-named Thumbleina, (this girl literally dances over rocks, roots and ruts passing the cars along her way)! All proceeds from this wonderful foundation go into a college scholarship fund for a deserving local high school student.
Next year lets add a "Masters" team girls...and, I won't be doing the driving!!
