Well, today is the 4th Annual Eston River Trek. These people are CRAZY! No, just kidding. I am amazed by the people who take this on. Karla and I were providing food and drinks at checkpoint 2, which was the half-marathon point. The first person to reach this 13 mile mark had left town with the 6am group and arrived at our station at 8am. The conditions for the runners/walkers was pretty good except for good ol' Eston mud and the wind that picked up every so often. For those of us sitting outside (or partially outside) for 3 hours it was FREEZING! Well, maybe not that bad, but it was pretty cold! I was in town last year at this time, but didn't really pay all that much attention to this event, but it was good to get involved in this community in a new way. It is still going on as I write this. Last year the times ranged from about 5 1/2 hours to 14 hours to complete the 40 miles. It is quite the event!
