A few photos of The Usual Suspects at the Mt Si Relay on April 13, 2008. I was back on the team again after a two-year hiatus when I ran the 50K instead, but with Boston a week away, I wanted a shorter faster run. The relay was just right, two legs totaling about 10 miles. As a team The Usual Suspects placed second this year, a respectable showing considering we've all aged a year since the last time we did this.
At the start, 6:30AM. Carson is our lead-off man, #135 at the far left.

Jeff is glad to be done for the day. None of us offered to keep Bill company on the final leg, although we did try to run with him for the last 50 yards to the finish.

All together at the finish. From left, Carson, Bill, Greg, Brian and Jeff, the team captain. We each won a second-place red ribbon. Hopefully we can all do it again next year.
