I was so wiped out last night, I forgot to tell people we finished! Matt finished a strong last 2 legs and brought us into DC. Compared to our experience at Ragnar, this finish was much better organized. They had the runners come off the C&O trail, through Georgetown, and finally into the park adjacent to the FDR Memorial.
The Washington Post had an article about the relay today - and our team got mentioned!
And no, we didn't see Mayor Fenty - although I did run with him for a few miles during the Marine Corps Marathon 2 years ago.
More to follow - today is yard work - I will go back and fill in posts, as well as add more photos.

Congrats, "ya stink" guys.
Found your blog through a twitter post.
Just incredible that you did this thing with 6 guys. I'm in awe, truly.
I was on team 22 "Four Score and Seven Blisters" -- one of the "weak 12-person type" teams. We also got a metnion in the same article.
What an event. 12 newbies to relays on our team. Just an incredible experience for us all.
Appreciate the notes on Ragnar. Will help us decide if any of us do that one.
Again, congrats.
