What a day and what an adventure. For many Atlantans the race began May 17th. For my sister and I, the Race began on New Years Day. That is the day we began our quest to lose weight and to get in shape. During our quest we learned about the CityChase and we set it as a goal to race. Race we did, never in our wildest dreams did we every think we would win the Women's Division, let alone the Atlanta Palm Paparazzi. Our goal had been just to finish and that we did. When we finished with time to spare and then learned we were the first women's team (11th overall) to cross the finish line and later to have our number picked as the Palm Paparazzi, you could not even begin to imagine our excitement and amazement.
Most of all we are both proud to say we have lost the weight and ran the race with each other. We are also thankful for all the other contestanst we ran against that day or helped with the chase. All the CityChasers we met that day help make it an awesome experience; an old classmate and her husband, a guy from Houston with his Atlanta running mate, the ladies from Tennessee having fun in the Hotlanta, the church lady wishing us luck on the train then showing up at a checkpoint and all the Atlanta Club Sports people we saw along the way. Thanks to all of you and to the rest of the people we met that day for such a great memory.
