Simon and his friend Scott ran the OC 1/2 Marathon and did an amazing job!
It was Simon's first road race and he finished it 1:57:17!!!
At mile 3 and 4 we had Lauren Hanson and Lauren Drake join the cheering. At mile 6 we had a very nice homeless man cheer personally for Simon. At 9.5 we got my dad out and had a group of police officers cheering for Simon. It was very nice to see the community come out and support the runners.
Scott's wife Karen brought the cow bells, which were more popular in the first few miles when people asked for "More Cow Bell". By mile 9 I think people couldn't be bothered to ask.
Don't know who this was, but this was his running outfit.... we also saw a girl running in a tutu and a guy running barefoot. Very interesting decisions on outfits.
Simon is planning on running next year, so if anyone else wants to run next year you'll have someone to train with.
I will be back as an observer/cheerer.
