This past weekend Chris ran the Grand Teton Relay with a total of 14 people, 1 being my sister, 1 being my brother, 1 being my brother-in-law, and 1 being one of my really good friends (of whom I stole most of these pictures).
If you aren't familiar with how these relay teams work it's a total of 14 people running 180 miles over the tetons over the course of about 24 hours.
Chris was in van 1 and they began their journey in Ashton. Chris has never even ran a half marathon so this was a new adventure for him...one I hope at sometime in the future I have a desire to join him on (currently I don't even want to take up running).
Here's some pictures of his journey over the tetons. He ran about 16 miles total!
Their car- there were two cars total!!!!
Chris finishing his last leg...he said he was beat!
All finished!

Van 1- they were team rat race, that explains their costumes:)
and a week later (today) Chris went into the doctor to check his swollen foot and low and behold he has a stress fracture and gets to sport a boot for the next little while!
I know he enjoyed the experience (minus the brake) and I would imagine he'll do it next year.

Sorry to hear about his foot! That's no fun. I wish I had taken more pictures.
That's such a cool experience. Stinks about his foot though. Remember how Matt and Chris ran that 5k two summers ago and Matt fell in a hole and got a hairline fracture. Those boys have bad luck!
