Sunday was Race Day! James was up super early (4am!!) to get to his corral on time to start at 6:30am. We made it to the halfway point around 8am. But didn't see him because we are a bunch of weiners! No...he was just running a little behind schedule and we left right before he showed up because we wanted to make it to the finish line on time (and we did...but only about 2 hours early!!). Lucas fell asleep in my arms at the finish line and my legs fell asleep sitting in the parking lot holding him!
The Marine Recruit Depot, where the finish line was, is acutally a beautiful place. nice yellow stucco buildings and plam trees everywhere. We did a lot of walking that day...lots and lots! The weather was nice, not too hot with a bit of a breeze. James, Ang and Russ got a bit sunburnt. James' was the best: he had a nice white line where his purple headband was, with a burn above and below!
Pics from Left to Right: The halfway point in the race...no James! They have these purple trees all over the place down there, and I have no idea what it is, but I am in love with it! At the finish line, James is #17579. Lucas and Uncle...I had Lucas waving our little Team in Training sign and shouting Go Team Uncle Jimmy Go Team Awesome!! A picture of the base.

I believe the trees were wisterias...I wondered that myself now that I think of it you only visited 1 week after we did last year!
