Congrats to team “Rest Later” who came in 1st in the Marathon Relay - Open Male Masters ~ lol.
We all can’t be guaranteed winners by having Andy Roberts on the team, but we were all successful on Sunday, September 16th.
What a great weekend! This year, the festivities started off on Saturday. My youngest daughter, Aaliyah, completed her very first race. She breezed through the 1.2 mile Kids Marathon. My wife is trying to get back into running, so she did a 5k, and my oldest, Twanda, completed the family affair by supervising/running with my youngest.
On Sunday, the Xerox/Friends of Xerox were fired up and ready to go as usual. We had people with injuries, people new to running; the weather was hot, and there were more hills than anticipated. None of that mattered. There were no excuses. We weren't expecting to win any prizes for fastest relay team, so we did what our relay teams always do: we stuck together. The participants from each leg waited until all hand-offs were complete, ensuring that we always took off as a team.
About the race:
No one embraces our team concept like we do. That’s what makes our relay teams special. I do the relay each year because the training helps me keep off a few unwanted pounds year after year, but the main reason for doing it is because of the comradery. We truly know how to make this a team event. Thanks everyone for participating, and see you next year.
