Quote: "I only run the 5K..." Great River Relay
Tip: (1) Bring extra towels to sit on in the van. You can
then put the stinky ones in a ziplock along with your wet
running clothes or you can bring old ones and throw them
as you go; (2) Go with the flow and have fun!; (3) This
is a RElay, not a BUFFet--bring more fluids and less food. |

Carlson; a.k.a. Wing Nut. Favorite Relay
Quote: "It's really hard to give a favorite quote,
because all that was said and done makes the whole experience.
Maybe that's my quote." Great River Relay Tip: Being
number 12 and running last leg (3 times!) is a test of patience.
Savor the moments, cheer your fellow nuts, and listen to
your body. Rest when you can (sleep even), drink, eat, and
stretch often. And the final slide across the finish line
with your teammates in tow makes the wait(s) golden.

Kate
Morrissey; a.k.a. Almond Nut. Favorite
Relay Quote:"I dont know how to turn my IPOD down!"
(and every quote that made reference to the stink in the
van - haha) Great River Relay Tip: If you get a new music
player be sure to know how to work the volume on for two
reasons: (1) so you won't have a ringing in your ears
and a headache after you turn it off and (2) so you can
hear your cheerleaders rootin' for ya! And also to avoid
sitting next to a family size bag of mini tootsie rolls
- those things are addicting!

Relay Quote: "It's not a race, it's a RELAY! Great
River Relay Tip: For those of you out there feeling the
pressure of being one of the sloooower runners on team,
and wanting to do the best for your TEAM - forget
about it! Just enjoy the scenery, give it your
all, and the team will support you anyway! Also, forget
about being clean, getting much sleep, or expecting your
team to go without coffee. . |
