Carbo loading at Olive Garden the night before.

Team picture at 5am at the starting line. Who put the gangster in the mullet photo?

And they're off. Nordic Track sponsered the event. The had a team run the entire race on treadmill adjusting for hills. You can see the giant screen in the background showing the trail.

Nothing like getting squished in a van with a couple of strangers for 36 hours. Here we go.

Kelly Collet hydrating before his first run. As his wife says, "Water does a mullet good."

Official mullet air conditioning system. Fan your shirt up & down.

Kelly did his first run 4 miles up a steep hill running in his combat boots from Iraq. Dude is crazy. I also saw him dancing on top of a rock flashing his nipples to everyone and singing. Ha ha! Love Kelly!

There were over 12,000 runners on the road this year and over 2,000 vans. It's like a giant van festival.

Blow this one up. It's my fav.

I got a little tramp stamp to complete my look.

Knocking out my first run. 3.4 miles, flat, & at 1pm. Hot!

Mullets busted making out in the out house.

The infamous Honey Buckets. Perfect place for a little lovin.

Stretchy STRETCH.

After our first 30 miles some of us slept

and some of us got crafty.

I needed an additional item to complete my Hoochie Cha Cha costume.

Tada! Makes mama proud to know that I have such crafty skills.

Getting ready for my night time run. 7 miles down hill at 1am. Dancing to stay warm while I wait for Foxy Roxy to run it in.

Here she comes. She slaps the bracelet on my wrist and I'm off. Can you hear all the chearing? Go Hoochie! Come on Cha Cha!

3rd and final run. 6 miles, slightly up hill, 3pm. Hot!!! As you can see, I'm struggling with my outfit. I didn't quit get the fit right. Better luck next time.

Betty Lou had the worst run of all. 4 miles vertical. Steep enough that the vans struggle making it up. Kelly was a stud and followed behind her with a 20 lb water bucket spraying her down the entire time. There's a soldier for you.
