This is the true story... of twelve strangers... picked to live in a van...

Well not all strangers.  many of our runners have been close friends since elementary school, but there was a lot of introductions that had to happen before we all started stinking up a van together...

We kicked off relay weekend with some carbo-loading at the olive garden in santa rosa... and for being mostly strangers, I'd say we hit things off pretty well!

Andrea arranged a hotel for us just a few minutes from the start line.  Here is Amy and Navery catching up on some much needed pillow talk.
