Back from Cape Cod

We just arrived home from Cape Cod. This weekend was the Cape Cod Marathon and Relay. We had 2 official teams from the ER go up to represent!!!! It was a tough rode to get there because we lost a total of 4 people between the 2 teams and 3 people from our team in the last 2 weeks alone. We rented a house and all bunked together a stones throw away from the beat. Incidentely the first relay exchange point was right across the street from us!

Above is picture of my official team, team charlotte. It consisted of fellow nurses Brita and Michelle, and Michelle's son and his friend who were awesome and filled in for us!

These were most of the members of both teams

This is a picture taken from the front yard of our house. That is a soccer field. And MANY small children play soccer in Falmouth EARLY on Saturday mornings. Ask me how I know??

This is Tracy, a fellow nurse on the other Team. She ran the very last leg of the race. Dosen;t she make running look good and easy???

I ran the first leg with my friend and co worker Claire. This was her first ever race and I decided I would support her all the way through at her pace, no matter what she did!!! She did awesome and made it the whole way. This picture is of the first exchange.

Claire and I cresting the giant hill. Do you notice the older lady in the background??? She passed us at the water station. Claire said we had to sprint to the finish because she could not beat us!

Having a little fun at the end!!
