Team Bush Smarts - TNF Marathon Relay

Nathan ran the marathon relay along with John, Todd and Liz.  Each ran something around a 10k (6+ miles), with an ankle band used as the "baton."   

Nice job crew!  T'was a successful first race for team Bush Smarts.  Every time I looked at my watch after 11:00 a.m. (relay start time) I thought of you guys.  Glad you enjoyed yourselves.

Here's their experience in photo montage, in order of events.

  1. So Team Buxh Smarts beat the bushes to get to the Busch? Not quite as tricky a hand off of ankle monitor as a relay baton, but still successfully done. Looks like a satisfied group. Did they Win, Place or Show?
