"I ran the 100 on 100 relay with
five friends last Saturday (Aug 13th). Here's the
website: http://www.100on100.org/.
We came in 6th of 12 women's teams (we were
something like 89th overall however). This is a
great race that starts at the stunning Von Trapp
Family Lodge in Stowe, VT and travels down scenic
Route 100 for 100 miles, to Okemo Mountain in
Ludlow, VT. You won't be surprised to hear that
it's very hilly but also very beautiful, including
waterfalls, mountain scenery and 2 covered
bridges! Most teams include 6 people, but there
are a few "ultra" teams of 3. There's a lot of
spirit on the course, with decorated vans,
costumes (at some points) and fantastic organizers
and volunteers. There are 18 legs to the course,
with total mileage for each runner ranging from 15
to 19 miles. We started at 7 a.m. and finished at
10:20 p.m.; I think the winning team beat us by
about 5 hours! Of course the point was to be
challenged and have fun, and we did. It was a
GREAT time. I highly recommend it,
especially if you like hills." |
