Run to the Beat 2011: GO TEAM FTC!!!

GO TEAM! Bayside High style.

RUN TO THE BEAT - DONE!!!

Aaron, Cheryl, Fiona and Flair have (collectively) run TWO MARATHONS!!! Needless to say we are very proud of ourselves.

Sunday dawned bright and early for us runners (and our teams of supporters, thank you all of you!). We made our seperate ways to Greenwich with a number of other people in their purple Run to the Beat t shirts. It was hot in Greenwich, really hot (about 35 degrees that day I believe). We all agreed the first five miles were a killer in the sun, and mainly up hill. The hills did not defeat us, we ran ran ran the whole way. Cheryl was off like a shot, she knew her pace and stuck to it, placing first within our Futures team, well done Cheryl we are very proud of you! Aaron escorted Fiona and I (Flair) around the course to 12 miles. This was an absolute pleasure for him (he assures me). He was able to play word games and listen to me singing, swearing and generally showing off for 12 miles. Aaron challenged himself to sprint the last mile which he did, I think you must have run that in about six minutes Aaron! That's why our supporters missed him, he's simply too fast. Fiona and I (running buddies 4 eva) started and finished together (I am not bitter in any way that Fiona placed one second faster than me, meaning I technically came last). Fiona battled her cold and not actually being able to breath at times (!) with a little help from The Prodigy at 10 miles. The beatz were a life saver. In less than two and a half hours all of Team FTC were done!
