I started writing this while sitting at a middle school somewhere in the upper keys. Robin, our #4 runner, was on the course. Her leg was 11.8 miles. Right now Lisa has about 2 miles left. That leaves us with only Julia and 7.8 miles before we sleep.
I am happy to report that while I really didn't get to see any alligators as I headed into the Everglades...I did get to have amazing scenary. The picture I am attaching is one I stopped and took of moonrise in the Everglades.
The terrain was rough....very rocky gravel....but I so enjoyed the experience of no traffic except for the Ragnar vans. I also enjoyed the company of a man named Tom who ran alongside me for 2 miles. I had already passed 2 boys on the course so I was eager not to let him pass me. After a few paces he asked where I was from....leading to pleasant conversation for the last 2 miles and my mind off the logistics of the run itself. Hope I see him again on the bridge in the am. I finished that 4.89 mile run in 54:10. That's slightly faster than my first leg...and I am hoping to improve on it in the last leg. More in the AM.
XOXO - Jenn
