Yesterday Grant competed in the 2011 Hood to Coast Relay Race. The race started at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood and ended 200 miles later in Seaside. Here is his team at Mt. Hood...
The team was split into two vans and Grant was in van #1 (pictured below).
Here are the runners in van #1 (Kyle, Darren, Iris, Sam, Mary, and Grant).
Grant had a great time, competing with 3 of his fraternity brothers from college.
And they are off...
Mary ran leg #4 and handed off to Grant, who ran leg #5. These guys were champs to be running in the hot temperatures!
Grant ran a total of almost twenty miles, between his three legs. His legs were ranked the most difficult both mileage and overall difficulty.
After van #1's first legs of the race, they stopped by the Phipps' house for dinner. Cassera and I made a yummy dinner, to help recharge them for the next 2 legs of the race.
The team ran in the middle of the night and then ended up sleeping in a field, somewhere along the route.
On Saturday afternoon, the the team made it to Seaside for the big finish! As a team of tweleve runners, they ran 200 miles in 29 hours and 15 minutes.
Beckett and I were there to watch Dad cross the finish line.

A celebratory beer!
