|
Bretton Woods Ski Resort was the starting place for our Reach the Beach
Adventure.
|
Martha, Denise and Sarah take in the beautiful scenery at Bretton
Woods. Secretly, they are each thinking, "I'm really, REALLY glad
I'm not running leg 1..." (see below...)
|
Ultra-Runners Lucia and Anita survey the challenging 5K course Anita
will tackle for leg #1.
|
"That's a lot of black diamonds!" Anita said.
|
Nina knows she better stretch out those calves and Achilles!
|
Peggy, Linnea, Sarah, Denise, Karen and Nina hang out at the lodge
waiting for the start.
|
The final countdown!! Notice not many women run leg one.
The ladies wait to cheer Anita on.
|
Our Anita is one tuff cookie.
She even passed people on the way down the slope.
|
Anita handed off to Nina, who had a very challenging uphill leg, but
brought us in under our estimated time!
|
Jeannie coming in from leg 3, which ended with a 2.8-mile steep
downhill... smiling for the camera.
|
Jeannie didn't realize the camera was still focused on her.
"Ouch, my quads."
|
Sarah took over for leg 4, which again, was up and down the
mountains. Would we ever really reach the beach???
|
Denise looked like she enjoyed running leg 5!
Again, mountains!
|
Peggy was our fastest runner, averaging 7:30's for leg 6.
|
Ever the happy, agreeable camper, Anita helps out a RTB volunteer by
assuming traffic control duties for a while.
|
Lucia comes in strong , ready to hand off!
|
Martha's looking a bit better than team 077 there!
She passed several people on her legs.
|
Abigail is really booking uphill in leg 10!!
|
Karen was our first runner to use the vest/flashlight/blinky combo.
She probably also would have liked a map. ;)
|
The Candia Fire Station serves up breakfast sandwiches and really
motivates the runners. Nina (in blue, to the right of the fire
chaplain wearing suspenders) just finished
her final leg.
|
Peggy catches a quick nap at an elementary school.
|
Linnea hauls it in to the finish line.
|
Everyone looks good after 200 miles!!
|
All smiles... we Reached the Beach.
|
Stay tuned for Reach the Beach 2006...
