Hellyeah Write-up Part I and II

May I point out the obvious?

Someone's calves are the same size as someone else's quads.


Last Saturday Brit and I ran the Helvetia 1/2.
Here's the write-up from our H2C blog:

Part I:
The Helvetia Half. Our backyard run. We've wanted to run this race for several years - especially since it's so close to home. Why run the backroads for free when you can pay money? The stars aligned this year -- our marathon training called for a 12 miler on this exact date. We signed up, the Farrer's watched our kids, we biked to the starting line (zooming pass all those people walking from the Intel parking lots ... suckers!), the sky was overcast, the rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner induced tears, and I stuffed my pockets with free post-race Cliff Bars. Oh! And the run was fantastic. We had fun and ran a good race. Like Paul.

Part II:

Bona fide finisher medals. Briton even won a third place ribbon. A white one ... like the kind you get at Field Day in elementary school. Except this race warn't no child's play. He had to burn past a guy barfing his guts up to earn it. (It's okay ... it wasn't a Good Samaritan scenario. The guy was likely in a different age category...pretty sure.).
