This September I went on an amazing adventure with 9 other team members. We traveled early Friday morning on the Ferry from Juneau, Alaska to Skagway, Alaska for the 2013 Klondike Relay. The relay runs 110 miles from Skagway to Whitehorse, Canada. It consists of 10 legs and runs from 7pm through the night. My team consisted of:
Leg 1 - Steve SueWing
Leg 2 - Ray Dwyer
Leg 3 - Catherine Sayre
Leg 4 - Amy Fosket
Leg 5 - Micaela Fowler
Leg 6 - Me!! (aka Coach)
Leg 7 - Donnie Gott
Leg 8 - Jason Messing
Leg 9 - Sheri Gray
Leg 10 - Julia Mesdag
Each leg is a different distance - mine was 16 miles long.

| This race was all about the team supporting each other and encouraging each other to finish. 4 members of the team had run a previous Klondike Race and 6 of us were new to it! |
