Evan was a bit antsy in the beginning since it wasn't our normal routine to just hang around waiting. All along the way I had comments from people about how in the world I could do the steps with Evan on my back. It wasn't too hard when you train for it. :-) We think our time was about 1 hour and 30 minutes...which is pretty good considering our practice runs were about 1 hour 45 minutes. We decided to run the first downhill leg through Tombstone Canyon (until Terri reinjured her hamstring). After that, we just stuck with walking. Evan thought it was so funny bouncing up and down in the backpack as we were running. The people around us were laughing at his laughter.
Evan being antsy...saying..."Why aren't we walking already??!!"
Shocking! A picture of the boy sitting still!
This is my co-worker Terri (these pics are from her cell phone).
A view of the mass of humanity before the start
We were in the corral waiting to go...Evan was pointing out people he thought we could easily beat.
Stair #1 Super-easy!
Stair #2 Another easy one!
Stair #3 It's starting to get hard!
Stair #4 Aaargh...hating this!
Stair #5 The dreaded Maxwell Stairs! Made it to the top of High Street. How fitting of a name for a street in Bisbee! Evan was so worn out even he needed a drink of water.
Stair #6 The worst is over, but alas, more steps to climb!
Stair #7 Nice easy set of steps...I think Evan was sleeping by this time.
Stair #8 One more left after this set...
During our training sessions, Terri and I said we would get a picture of this street sign. Funny with the Obama sign behind us (sooooo Bisbee).
Stair #9 The last set! At the top of the stairs, these guys starting chanting "We're not worthy" when they saw us coming up that last set.
