2008 Seafair Marathon Team Relay

Last weekend, I took part in the team relay for the Seafair Marathon. My team consisted of me, my dad, and my two uncles Ed and Dennis. Each person had to run 6.55 miles. This year, the marathon route took us over the 520 bridge going East into Bellevue, and then all around the city. I got to run over the bridge which was a pretty cool experience. It's a 2-mile span over Lake Washington, so over 30% of my run was spent over the water.

I didn't bring my camera with me because I didn't want to carry it, but some professional photographers hired by the event holders were there to snap a couple shots of my extremely sweaty self chugging along.


It was a good route, but the race was unorganized. I heard a few people missed the start and also some people didn't know where to go on the middle part of the route (my uncle and sister-in-law's teammate included).
