Leg 19, potentially the most scary thing ever, right after sky diving! 3.7 miles along a dark, DARK road! The first 1.5 I was the only runner in sight, next to the deep, dark, woods. All I could think about was who was going to jump out at me. The only light was my headlamp and the vans checking in on runners occasionally. I was ecstatic to meet Zeke at exchange 19. Zeke knocked out a quick 2.5 before handing off to Virginia. She was getting a few last stretches in before heading out in the misty fog.
So, after reading this, I must admit that I'm pre-freaked out for my leg, set to begin around 3 am in Racine. Maybe I shoulda taken my friend up on the offer for a gun!
