Just over a week ago, Nuun announced the selections for their Hood to Coast Relay all-women, all-blogger team.
Then began the process of the athletes putting in their choices for running legs and team/van buddies. I am sure the Nuun coordinators had an even more difficult task sorting through all of that info and creating the line-ups... which are below!
I was lucky enough to get my buddies and my leg... anchor, baby! Yeee haaaaaaaw! Bringing it home :)
Here is the team I will run with and each member's corresponding turn in the running rotation...

Finishing this race will have special significance to me. My father was a resident of Seaside (where the race finishes) when he passed away. His widow still lives there. If you would like to read more about my dad, click here. When I first heard about the Hood to Coast Relay contest for Nuun's team, I really had no idea what it all meant to the rest of the running world... all I knew was that I had shared amazing times with my dad on Mount Hood and at the Oregon Coast... and points in between. I knew it was something I had to do.
Thanks, Nuun, for picking me :)
