204 + miles later, our team of 12 runners, FINALLY CROSSED THE FINISH LINE!!!! We had our ups and our downs, we threw up, got little to no sleep, partied, and just about passed out when it was all over. We started in Prescott AZ, and ended in Tempe/Mesa AZ. This is our team, (minus 1 who had to go home because she had the hardest legs of the whole thing). Joy was really sick, and we missed having her at the end, but it was fun the first day wasn't it? A small tribute to the boy/runner who lost his life during this race. It was so sad and surreal to hear of someone loosing their life while we ran this race, but life happens, and when it's your time to go, no matter how it happens, the lord is in charge. The 18 year old male was crossing a highway to give water to his team mate who was running at that time, and on his way back to the van he got hit by on-coming traffic. It was 2 am in the morning, and not very lit. We are sadden by the loss that the team and family had to face. It was a bitter-sweet ending to this race. We celebrated by eating at Cafe Rio. I'm pretty sure we all went home and crashed for 2 days Enjoy!!!
