Teton Dam 1/2 Marathon - June 14, 2008

Here we are at the start of our 1/2 marathon. (Teton Dam Marathon Rexburg, ID). In the first 30 minutes of the run we were getting passed like crazy. But we knew that if we kept a steady pace we'd be passing them soon enough. Sure enough, half way thru the race we started passing the very runners that were passing us early on.






We surprised ourselves with how much fun we had during the race. Training for it wasn't exactly fun or easy, but there's something about the adrenaline and the "gu" gel packs that get you thru. We made our goal to finish in less than 2 hours. Our time was 1:58 giving us an average of 9:03 minute miles. Next on our list of events is the Hood to Coast relay. Currious to know more?

We're still looking for runners, if anyone is interested:)
