Early this morning we volunteered for the Soldier Field 10 miler. Our task: remove each finishing medal out of individually wrapped plastic bags. Waste of time & waste of materials...yes! But, we were needed.
Afterwards, we ran 2 hours 20 minutes - 15.19 miles. Luckily, near Navy Pier (our halfway point) there was a candy promotion - Air Heads handing out lollipops. Overly excited Kirstin jumped in front of 2 patiently waiting kids to receive 3 free samples. Hopefully, her "go get 'em" effort continues through training & onto race day. This trail magic boosted our sugar. We're obviously still working on the nutrition thing.
Tomorrow were heading to Racine, Wisconsin to attempt the half ironman bike course. We'll cover 56 miles on our fully loaded bikes. To date, this will be our longest ride.
We're beginning to sport beautiful farmer's tans to compliment our burnt faces.
