The 29ers



The streak is alive!

Three brave souls ran the monsterous 13.1 miles of Toe Jam Hill this morning, keeping intact the 28 consecutive years of Bainbridge Island's second longest sporting event. (Chilly Hilly has this distinction at 33). On a beautiful spring morning, on the traditional week after Easter, Eric and Jim joined RCVman for a highly symbolic rolling and relaxed run. All three finished around the two hour mark, and a $100 contribution to the Boys & Girls Club was the added bonus.

We hope to celebrate the 29ers accomplishment next year at number 30. Whay to go Eric and Jim!!!!!

Thanks FW. I am glad we did it (and equally glad it's in the books.) Can't wait for number 30!

What a blast! Thanks for setting up the course RCVman a/k/a Kevin and that secret recipe punch at the half-way was a life-saver. Those feet do look young in that photo!

PS - Good advice when not having run 13 miles for some time is to not wear bike shorts.

Riding 13 and running 13 is like rock and jazz. Different animals. Way to slug it out 29er!
