Race for the Cure

Last weekend, we also did the Race for the Cure. Tim ran the timed version of the race; he won his age group and was 7th overall. There are some photos of him here. The rest of us took it slower (in fact, Tim walked the race backwards, met us, and then finished the rest with us). Here we are as a group pre-race:

The crowds were crazy. Here's the crowd in front of us at the start:

and behind us:

It took us 20 minutes after the race had started before we were at the starting line. People spread out a little after that, but the finish was crazy too; we slowed down with a few blocks to go and had to stroll across the line in a mob. There are some pictures of us finishing here. (Mom's easy to find; for the rest of us, you have to do a little "Where's Waldo?".)

Congrats to Tim on his win! Did Tim really walk backwards the whole way--that's a pretty impressive way to win? j/k :)

We do the Race here sometimes and it is comparably crazy, but fun.
