So this is relay is turning into an annual event. If you remember last year right after I got back from India, Team Gazelle shredded this course to get 3rd out of 60 teams. This year Team Gazelle was going back to the relay not with determination to get 1st but with the determination to get the Team Spirit Award. The team consisted of most of the same team members except we had a few replacements this year.
we showed up in the Black Sabbath again, (a huge mercedes 12 passenger van that the Roney’s let us borrow!!) and we started whooping and hollerin at the starting line.
the Red Rock Relay is 180 miles of beautiful southern Utah scenery that takes place over two days and has enough energy to completely drain a team of 12 Gazelles.
We ended up finishing in 25 hours and 9 minutes, not in first place but in 5th place overall out of 200 teams. the whole team did a really good job and I don’t think there was another team that was crazier then we were. Mr. RedRock seemed to agree because Team Gazelle was the winner of the 2010 Team Spirit Award!!!!
