Clear Lake exchange point on the way up Guanella Pass

The road up Guanella Pass. Snow is getting deeper...

Top of Guanella Pass looking down the road at runners comming up - Burrrrr!

Great view from Guanella Pass

Finish

Done. We all ran with Michelle across the finish line in Carbondale at 9:14AM. Official time is unknown at this time due to the delay at Georgia Pass.

The new legs from Glenwood to Carbondale were a nice change. Cameron started things off right by running his sprint leg (1.5 miles) in his blue speed skating suit, hood and all (pictures to be posted later).  Claire and Tim battled some unexpectedly steep climbs and Sarah and Michelle cruised.

Everybody is sore, stiff, and happy.

Please check back for pictures.

It's 3:45 AM

Yes, we're still at it. Van 2 is on their way to the hotel for showers and rest. Van 1 is wrapping things up with their 3rd legs.
Weather finally cleared up. We have clear skies, cold temps, and a beautiful moon to light our way. Everyone is stiff, warm and happy.

Sorry, no photos at this time.

On our way to XP15

Rick, Ryan, and Mike all had fantastic legs. Weather is holding for Ashley whose on the road now. Adam is up next for 8.9 miles of pure frontage road fun.

More pictures taken by Van 2

Here are the rest of the (good) pictures from Van 2. These are not in chronological order. Van 1 is blogging via BlackBerry, so we might not have any pictures from them until post-race.

Tim ready for his first leg (about 6 miles).

Michelle and Sarah waiting for Claire to finish.

Here comes Claire (in blue jacket) at the end of her grueling run over Georgia Pass.

Tim finishing his first leg. He was easy to spot in his yellow vest.
The wristband handoff between Michelle and Tim.

Tim waiting for Claire to finish. This is Tim's 6th Outward Bound / Colorado Relay. Wow!

Claire finishing her run, and trying to take the wristband off with her teeth. Claire kicked butt on the hardest leg of the relay!

Tim taking off after the exchange with Claire.

Claire was spent after her run, but she's gearing up for the next leg (and the next leg).

Michelle ready for her first run. The rain was starting to fall lightly, so she dressed for the weather. (Thanks for the jacket, Lisa!)

Still ready.

Cameron's leprechaun suit

Cameron dug up his speed skating suits for the relay. He wore the green one during his first leg. We hear he has a long-sleeved blue suit (with hood) for a later leg.

During some down time

After Van 1 departed this morning, Van 2 had some time to chill.

What is Claire doing?

Cameron was actually trying to get some work done today, so he may end up with a chargeable hour (or just a few chargeable minutes). Thanks to Cameron with his computer, we are able to post pictures to the blog.

Buzz off!

Michelle managed to spill tea all over herself. So she got all wet before she had to run in the rain. Nice.
