Hubby and I recently came back from another adventure. This one involved crewing for our Son-in-law who was running the Tahoe 200 Ultra Marathon. This marathon is not for the faint of heart. Two hundred and five miles around Lake Tahoe, climbing and descending over 34,000 feet of mountainous terrain.
We were there to give our racer encouragement and support to the finishline. Yes, call
us crazy, but we were up for the challenge, waiting at the designated rest stops every 15-20 miles which were fully equipped with food, water and medical help. A "tough" job but someone had to do it!
 |
| Ready for the challenge |
 |
| Mica was a level head and tremendous help as pacer |
 |
| Heading into the rest station and all the care we can hand out |
 |
| Something only a wife could do, getting socks on after 2 hours of medical attention to the feet |
 |
| Coming in for what this crew thought might be the last leg of the race for our racer but... |
 |
| compression socks and wool socks at the next rest stop did the trick |
 |
| Mark was the second pacer, keeping things moving toward the finishline! |
 |
| Breakfast burritos proved food of choice |
 |
| TO THE FINISHLINE! |
 |
| Tahoe 200 belt buckles for the finishers |
 |
| 79.25 hours later, 30th place and a son-in-law who thinks he's "aged 10 years"! |
