The Gun Show

It has been several weeks now since the RMEC completed the American Odyssey Relay.  As most of you know, we sent three 6-person Ultra Teams to the event.  The RMEC actually accounted for half of the ultra teams in the race.  Both men's teams broke the previous ultra record, and our women's team was the first ever all women's team to complete the race.

Relay races are truly an amazing experience.  Running as a team gives you a feeling that is different than any other race you will do.  I highly recommend doing at least one relay in your running career.

  • It does not have to be a six-person team. . . in fact most are 12-person teams.  
  • You don't have to be fast. . .  most teams are out to have fun.
  • You don't have to be best friends. . . you will form a bond during the race.
Below is a 10 minute video of The Gun Show.  We ran the race hard, but we never took ourselves too serious.  I tried to capture that in 10 minutes of pictures and clips.  Hopefully after watching this, you will be ready to sign up for a relay too.
