Friday afternoon we packed up the car and drove up to Steamboat. The scenery was just exquisite, we weren't quite sure if we were even still in Colorado. Snow still on the mountain tops but lush green valleys from the water run off and the perfect mixture of sun on your face and a breeze to keep you cool. We made exception dinners both Friday and Saturday night out on the deckas we hoped to carbo-load to keep our bodies movin' come Sunday. Not to mention water intake that left our tummies sore.
Saturday we woke up, garage sale shopped, walked around town, and found a little hike at Fish Creek Falls to get ourselves acclimated to the altitude. Hiking in snow in chacos was not, however, all that optimal.Sunday was race day and we got bussed up to Lake Steamboat and dropped off. The road back was serene to say the least, though, it didn't quite relieve the pain of actually running the whole 26.2 miles. We all finished in under 4 hours and 30 minutes and couldn't have been prouder.
This was the after photo when we got back to the condo. We were a bit wiped.
