Easy Sticks Roll into Audubon Park

This is Team Easy Sticks at the finish line. The name is Easy (New Orleans
is the Big Easy) Sticks (Baton Rouge is Red Stick) because the race was from
Baton Rouge to New Orleans. I think I've just about worked through the
soreness.

Finished!

I finished my last leg on the last round of the race. Three more legs to go and cross the finish. In case I didn't say, the entire 126.2 miles was run along the Mississippi River levee and parts of River Road among cows and chemical plants, almost totally in the dar. And we did it. Or we're 3 legs away from doing it.

Finished 4th round at around 3am

Cold, cold blast at the start, more temperate as the miles passed. One more leg and done!

Leg 15. Done.

Ran about 5 miles alone in the dark along the levee around Convent, LA. Lots of commerce along the river. I think I may have caught blood poisoning from the fumes. Also, it was a little awkward when I was the lone witness to a couple fighting outside a bar. Thankfully they didn't notice me, and thankfully I was running away.

George is passing... Or being passed?

Armed Forces team

They're running the entire race while carrying a flag. And they passed us a long time ago.

Rouge Orleans starts with a BOOM!

Greg leads our team on leg 1. I was looking thru Chris's video camera so I could capture Greg's start. Before I knew it BOOM! The cannon of the USS Kidd destroyer exploded. Shook my pants, which is good. Shook 'em clean.

Toe issues... Toe is me

Ok. That was bad.

Still have toe issues that plagued me in Houston. It's not hurting, but I tingles when I walk. I've run short mileage -- 3 to 4 miles -- and it actually feels better. Fortunately, I won't run more than 5 to 7 miles at a time during the relay. When I get to big miles, that's when it hurts.

So, tomorrow should be good. Its the New Orleans marathon in 3 weeks that worries me.
