This is the hardest part of the race for the little guys! The guys in Van 1 roll away from the Pine Valley Motel @ 3:05 with about 1 1/2 hours of sleep to go run their last legs of the race. However, this is the van with Slack & Agnoli so there was no lack of entertainment. Once the punchiness set in, which apparently didn’t take long at all with those two, so did the entertainment. Reports of comedy routines from movies (I “heard” Fried Green Tomatoes – those boys MUST have been tired!!) and then singing… where is the video camera when you really need it!!!
Oh yeah, back to the race… Badrad started his leg at 4:02am, ran “great” on a hard gravely leg back in at 5:15am, way to go Badrad! Austin was next for a Hard 6 miler and was back in @ 6:13am. Then Jr out and away for his last 5mile leg, he knocked it right out and back in at 6:59am to hand off to Sciandra who came up big – 8 miles is 58 minutes! He was in @ 7:57am and handed off to Agnoli. The guys are hanging out at the exchange zone waiting on Agnoli and are all tired… But the thoughts of pancakes in Pensacola are getting them through it all.
