I signed up to run the Reno Tahoe Odyssey at my work this year. The relay race starts in Reno, through Truckee then Tahoe, down through Carson City and Virginia City and then back to Reno. It starts Friday and goes through Saturday, which means I should be dead by Sunday. The last few days I've been battling a cold and a sore throat and have not been able to run. I'm hoping to recoup by Friday when the race begins.
I'm actually pretty excited about the race. I always wanted to do something like this. Intuit is sponsoring the race and we have a pretty large team that will be participating this year. I will be running leg 2, 14 and 26. The most difficult leg will be when I'm running at Tahoe where the air is thinner. The weather has been cold and cloudy lately so that might help. I've been running to get myself in shape for the race. Fortuntely, the area I live in is hilly and steep so I've gotten some good workout. Unfortunately, I have no concept of distance. I thought I've been running three miles each time but most likely its been a mile. Maybe I've been running at that island on Lost where time is all messed up.
You will see below a link I provided for the race and the course. We're starting at 8:30 Am and estimating that we will cross the finish line at 10:30 PM on Saturday. I'm part of a slower, first year runners so they expect us to take our time.
Wish me luck!
