 
Tomorrow morning two of our Xtreme4 participants will be running in the NYC marathon. Andrea Vasquez, one of our riders, will be looking to break the 3:20 mark. Kip Pierson, a crew member and our main photographer, will be leading a blind runner. Mariana and myself will be on the sidelines cheering them on! It's a really impressive feat to even just run a marathon (which I have yet to do) and there's an amazing feeling in the city right now. We went to the race expo yesterday for general information and packet pickup, and everyone was in great spirits and very outgoing and so excited for the run. One of the things that was great about the expo was that there were vendors and supporters that have booths set up for the racers and fans alike to check out. Environmentally aware organizations and companies were there promoting their products, as well as offering general tips as what we can do as individuals to keep our planet healthy. There are actually quite a few products available that are all natural, organic, sustainably-conscious that athletes can use as energy bars, recovery drinks, and nutritional supplements. Something that we are looking forward to integrating into our RAAM 2008 adventure. We'll have an update as to how Andrea and Kip fare on their marathons after the race! |
