What's that you say do you do anything besides run? Here's some photographic evidence I've been saving up :)

Yes I realize I never did finish my recap, so you'll have to settle for photos!

Quickie Stats
My legs went surprisingly well. I was pleasantly surprised on the first 2 and wasn't too disappointed with the third.
Leg 1- 6.61 miles at 5:23 PM. 7:05 Pace (I am convinced this was short as I timed 3 of the miles around 7:40, this means I probably ran the first few miles in sub 7, yikes)
Leg 2 - 4.0 miles at 3:05 AM. 7:06 Pace. I felt like I was flying on this leg.
Leg 3 - 8.97 Miles (Actual Mileage 9.59) at 2:12 PM. Official Race Pace 9:04. Actual Pace 8:28 Got a little lost on this one but was using a Garmin. Until we got lost we were between 8:10 and 8:20. I was hoping for closer to 8 but I was just happy to be running at all by 2:30 PM on the one hour of real sleep I got.

Done
We finished. It was definitely harder than I imagined. Quite a few of us got lost and did extra mileage. Navigation was not always easy. Sleep was in short supply and a lot of whining was to be had by all.
More details to come. I am vegging at the Jayhawks while they take back the vans. The couch is awfully tempting after about 1 hour of actual sleep since 9AM yesterday, but I think I will stay up until after Karaoke is done tonight.
We did manage to do some podcasting along the way and snap quite a few fun photos. Be sure to check everyone's blogs and the GMR blog for updates.
Awesome job to Lunchbox, Jason, Leah, OOSG, Lisa, Dawn, Taylor, Mouse, Ryan, Running Jayhawk, and Dice! Hope you all had as much fun as I did.

First Quote of the Weekend
"I've got explosive diarrhea" I'll let you guys guess who it was from, hint it wasn't me.
We get started in a little less than an hour, my leg won't start until about 5:30.
2nd quote which just occurred "aND I just farted" and on that note I need to move.
This may be the last update for awhile.

And the festivities have begun
I arrived in Chi-Town pretty close to on time and was swept up by my RBF chariot and it was off to the bar for some grub and beer before dropping Mouse and Dice off and coming back to the Jayhawks for some Wii Mario Party.
So far so good. This weekend is going to be a blast. Of course my camera batteries died as soon as I tried to snap my first photo so I will need to purchase some batteries or threaten other RBFers with bodily harm if they don't send me all their pics!
The Jayhawks have outdone themselves again and I feel like a princess. I am set up on a queen pull out right now with a laptop and wireless Internet. Does it get any better than that?
I am very much looking forward to the next few days. Hope everyone else enjoys the rest of the work week ;)

So Anonymous it is time to come forward if you want to claim your wonderful prize! If you wish to remain anonymous I will get a Wild Bill T-Shirt to our runner up as soon as I can find Wild Bill! He has been sick and not running with the group the past few weeks. Hopefully he is feeling better and has a few extra shirts on hand for this wonderful moment! (Our runner up was Masochists in Motion from Journey to a Centum)
Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions!

Calling All Creative Wordsmiths
*Update* You've got till Friday (3/24) to get your suggestions up!!! Some are starting to get a bit inappropriate so if you don't see yours up keep it a bit cleaner. Thanks!
Okay I need your help.
With the vast amounts of creativity out in the blogosphere our Great Midwest Relay team still has not come up with a perfect name.
This run is all about 12 kick ass bloggers getting together and racing from Madison to Chicago over 48 hours in 2 large vans.
So here's the deal. Start making some suggestions! If your name gets picked by the team I am offering up a Wild Bill Shirt! That's right you can run around town in a sweet Wild Bill T-Shirt just like me!
So start making suggestions!
We've got some great suggestions so far! Keep em coming!
