Running

Well, that took a turn. My original plan was to give live updates on the race when I could, but pretty soon after this, we entered a signal dead zone lasting almost the entire rest of the race. 😵‍💫

The night legs were wild, though - pitch black, up and down a mountain (felt like mostly up 💀), into the mist.   

I have exactly 0 photos of this, but it cannot be overstated, how exhilarating running at 3am on a slice of paved road in the middle of the woods feels. I had 3 legs like this. I was exhausted, but it was awesome.

Super proud of our tiny rag tag Hood to Coast team.. truth be told, we didn’t encounter a single other group with only 8 people on this course 🤣.. one person even asked us if this was *allowed*, but we made it there in one piece and in good spirits!

Had a great time. This entire race had the energy of a music festival. 

Legs are definitely feelin it (not in great shape just yet tbh) but lots of gratitude I get to do this and with friends. So fun!

what's the "typical" number of team members?

Most teams had 12, and some even designated drivers for both vans (so 14 total). We just alternated driving after each leg
