More Wiki drivel

We were 7th amongst female 2 person teams. And all were in one big age group. Which means the other 6 teams were probably 20 yrs. old. I'm sure of it. Gina analyzed the results and we would have been 5th in the men's 2 person teams. :)
We had to carry the pineapple the whole way. The obstacles were fairly easy; crawl thru a tube, climb over a wall, climb over a higher wall ( i stepped on gina's back) and then came back around to give her a boost, after the monitor said that was OK. Then the next wall, with tires, was really high... I thought no way I can climb that, but all we had to do was toss the pineapple thru one of the tires.. SWEET ! My middle name isn't Bart Starr/Brett Favre for nothing. Then crawl under some netting, then thru some punching bags and up and over a big container box like a climbing wall, then up a steep but short hill, then under a pole and to the finish line.
Then off to the luau ! It was a fun event, but an odd for us. We did not see one person we knew. None of the usual suspects like at regular races. No Wendy, Judy, George, Gwen, Uli, Karen, Val, or the countless others that we see all the time but don't have names for.
Today I ran 8 miles. A new loop that included going across and back on the Aurora bridge. Kind of interesting. Great view. Gina spun on the bike. Still feeling like a cold is dragging her down.

I said it was luau.
SpongeBob was in the house.
We gotta get some colorful grass skirts.
Gina is proud of her lei matching the pineapple design.
