What an interesting experience working with the people (locals and race officials), finding a place to stay and um, possibly seeing a dog or a goat being cooked up on an open fire in front of the hotel, and really not having a whole lot to do in the three days we were there.
To keep a long story sort and to let you know that all three finished is key... If you have the time you can visit http://www.great-wall-marathon.com/ There are some great photos to give you an idea of what it is Megan, Ryan and Melanie took a crack at. The 2007 time are not yet posted. … but, for the half marathon -
Ryan finished in about 2 hours and 20 minutes
Melanie finished in about 2 hour and 58 minutes
Megan finished the full marathon in just under 6 hours. Which is awesome!!! This was not the easiest track.
The big fans…. Patricia, Kecia and Amy woke up and were out of Beijing by 4am on Sat morning to cheer the fellow GSE team members on!
It was a great day…… and I believe there will be more to share later. ..
Until then..
