Friday was the day of driving.
- Weather: Tough to say because we were in the car. It was sunny. Kansas is hot and required A/C in the car.
- Events: Driving. Lots of driving. The night ended with a bottle of wine which was great.
- Theme song: Sex-O-Matic Venus Freak - Macy Gray. This is a weird song to listen to in the car with another person. Just saying.

Saturday was the day of hanging out, packet pick up and a great basketball game.
- Weather: The thermometer said 86* around 2pm which means it got even hotter later in the day. I was sweaty and gross all day. I hadn't even run yet.
- Events: Two trips to downtown Lawrence, and this basketball game squeezed in between them.
- Theme song: Burnin Up - Jonas Brothers for obvious reasons.

Sunday in which I
- Weather: Hotter than fire. I think the heat index was around 100*. That shit hurt.
- Events: We ran this thing. I had leg five (new for me this year) and leg nine (somehow more horrible and less horrible than last year at the same time).
- Theme song: Game On - Pitbull. Although nothing really helped.

 |
| Holy crap! We survived. |
Monday in which I drive home.
- Weather: Started out in the 70s in the morning in Kansas. Finished in the 70s in the evening in Minnesota. A/C was required, but not on full blast.
- Events: Just a lot of driving.
- Theme song: Macy Gray feat Velvet Revolver - Kissed It because it finally woke us up.

| There are no pictures from the trip home since I was driving. Enjoy these instead. |
