Rich has been training like a mad man for months to run the Pikes Peak Marathon. We decided the kids could miss a couple of days of school so that we could all go out and support him!
Our motel was at the starting line so it was pretty easy and convenient to see him off. He was pretty nervous and couldn't sleep the night before but he said it all dissipated the moment he started running. This is a video he took at the start line.
I was able to track him on his Garmin which was really cool but they also had cameras at the start, summit and finish line! He also did a really awesome job of taking pictures and videos during his run.
6 miles in
Here he is at the summit! It was so awesome to get to see him at the top!
We were able to track him from the hotel room and when he got closer to the finish line we went down to cheer him through!
Finish line!
Our Baker family was watching from home and Julie took this video that I LOVE!
He finished! 26.2 miles with an elevation gain of 7,815. It took him 6hrs 40min and he finished number 215 out of 653. So proud of him!
