Long Beach Half Marathon

Z ran the Long Beach Half Marathon

on October 7.

We had to get up super early to leave our

friends' house in LA & make the trek

down to Long Beach to find some parking...

in addition to the half, there was also the full marathon, 

a bike "tour", a 5K, a handcycle race, and a walk, 

so there were over 25,000 people participating, 

plus the spectators.

Here's Z before the sun even came up.

This guy did the bike tour on a unicycle!

Around mile 2

Mile 6

My view at the finish.

Unfortunately they kept all spectators

well away from the finish gate,

so I had a hard time capturing the end

of Z's race.

It's ok, though, because he took 9th place.

Not too bad in a race of over 11,000 people!
