~* Hood to Coast 2012 *~
I survived my 3rd Hood to Coast relay! My team, Pavement Killers, did the relay in 29hrs 8mins.
I think we finish in the top 33% of all the participating teams, which i think is a decent result. But then again, the winner of the relay won in 17hrs! Crazy japanese kids!
I had a great time with my team...and my van especially. Whats not to like when you have 4 pretty ladies in you team?!
I think for the race to be enjoyable, theres 2 important points. The first is that your van members must be energetic and pumped up and the second is that there's smooth handoffs within the van and between the vans.
I must say apart from the handoffs from leg 17 to 18 where I had to jog 1mile to the exchange point and the previous runner had already been there for 10-15 mins already, everything else went really well! The good thing is it isn't even our fault that the cock up happen. It was due to an incident which happen where one of the shops along the streets blew up and the race had to be rerouted which resulted in traffic jams.
Nonetheless, I still had a great time. I think everyone did enjoy themselves, which at the end of the day, IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:)
