On a rainy weekend, 8 adventurous BFA staff ladies participated in a relay marathon.
The adventure started at 5am when we met to drive to Zurich.
The sun is rising somewhere out there on the Swiss horizon. Why are we awake this early?
After leaving the warm, dry vehicles we ventured into trams and busses to take us to the registration site and starting line.
Susan, Emily W., and Katrina
Megan, Sammie, CB
Emily W. and Susan both ran the first leg of the race, a distance of about 9k.
Katrina and I took the velcro-wristband Datasport chips from them and ran our entire 10.7k together, passing our chips on to CB and Sammie for their 4k stretch.
Yay! We're finished!
The view of the lake cleared up just after Katrina and I finished running. It was gray and rainy while we ran.
CB & Sammie passed the “batons” to Emily K. and Megan for the final portion, the 17k.
When Emily came in for the last 300 meters, I joined her to finish the race together. CB and Susan joined us at the finish line!
Our team at the finish - with our cool medals. We're smiling, but really we were just holding our teeth together to keep from chattering. During the last leg of the race, it rained, cleared up, rained again, and hailed. Weird!
Both teams combined - wet and cold, but happy!
