Up at six to help for the day with The National Marathon Trail Championships. The girls worked the finish line and the Kids Adventure Race. Actually worked their butts off for four hours and I was proud of them. Went through 60 gallons of water in Dixie cups. I should do this more. I give pretty much nothing back to running. Race director let me run with the USATF wave since I could follow the half marathon course back and be in time for the first finishers. Very humbling. These lead folks are fit. Even running a 1:38 half I was chicked twice. And they had 13 more to go. I cut off the marathon course in Kane's Canyon and finished with the half runners just in time to work the finish line for three hours.
