My husband ran the 2nd leg of the marathon relay. The majority of the course was flat, except for HIS 5k, the 2nd leg of the relay. But, considering he has never ran a 5k before and the difficulty of the leg, I am unbelievably proud of his 38 minute time. Each finisher received a medal, pictured below. The Marathon winner was Daniel Ellis. He completed the 26 mile race in 2 hours, 25 minutes, 57 seconds, with an average pace of 1 mile every 5 minutes and 35 seconds. Amazing.
It is so funny to see people dressed in costume running a marathon. But they do... and when they do... I take their picture.
I think the bib number for the "fairy" is from a previous year or previous runner. His looks slightly different from the one my husband has and the bib from the football runner. Either way, this guy ran a freakin' marathon in a fairy costume.
And I wouldn't have believed it, if I hadn't seen it myself at the first transition where my husband started, but the football player... ran the FULL marathon... IN UNIFORM!! The picture below is of him taken at one of his last turns. The time on the clock at that turn was under 3 hours, 50 minutes. You can't do that well and stop to take off the gear. Seriously, dude... YOU ROCK!
Note: Neither of these participates are my husband.
