    Wow, I’m impressed … and this was only the start! Congrats on your accomplishments! I just started following your blog (found it on the HLB website). Can you tell me about the HR monitor you wear on your wrist? I start a running training program in a couple of weeks and am hoping to find a simple HR monitor/distance/calorie counter. Thanks!

      Thanks! If you want one that tracks distance I suggest a Garmin Forerunner. That’s what I want to get soon. Right now I have a Polar Heart rate monitor. It tracks time, calories only.

    Yay!! I’m so proud of you! You totally rocked your first leg. I’m so jealous that you did this relay! I heard it was the mecca of all relays (compared to the other two that I did this year).

    I can’t wait to read more. šŸ˜‰

    Holy cow, what are the odds, I was browsing through the HLB blogroll after I just posted my H2C wrap up! Small world! Anywho, great job on the relay, it looks like you totally rocked your legs and were fueled by the sheer awesomeness of the relay šŸ™‚
