We ran the Sawtooth Relay this weekend and had a great time. The name of our team was “More Cowbell” and we were team #234
The Sawtooth Relay is a 62 mile run and is separated into twelve legs. Teams of six individuals run from Stanley, Idaho to Ketchum Idaho over the famed Galena Summit. The proceeds for the race are all donated to the PKD Foundation and are used for research in finding a cure for kidney disease.
Our team this year consisted of Trent & Shelly Koci, B and Tamara Clayton, and Karma and me. Each team is required to have one volunteer for the race and Tim Terry generously served as our volunteer.
Zoie came along with us too and Karma’s Mom Dorothy watched her while we ran the race.
We stayed in Ketchum on Friday night and then woke up around 1:30 in the morning. We picked up B and Tamara around 2:00am to drive to Stanley for a 4:00am start.
The race was a bit rainy this year, but we still had a blast!
We finished the race at around 1:00 in the afternoon with a total time of just over 9 hours.

June 16th, 2009 at 9:07 pm What a great reflection of the experience. Remember on leg 1 how we kept saying good job runner, because we put the red flashing light on the back of Tam, and could never find her? How about on leg two when Michele was choosing her vest; and then asking how the heck do I put this thing on? Remember meeting Dane’s entourage on leg 3? I remember the rain starting on 4, and Karma asking for her hat. Today I work, I remembered you on five because people would say they saw a I shirtless guy running in the pouring rain. I also remember leg 6 at mile three when you guys rolled up; and thinking there is not possibly anything you guys have that I want right now…..except that relay bracelet.:) Thanks for putting this together!

June 17th, 2009 at 10:17 am Ha! Yeah B, what a great weekend!! That was so funny when we were waiting for Tamara and she ran by us in the dark and said, “Hi Guys”. We had no idea it was her until she went by & we could see the flashing red light. If we would have recognized her we would have provided “More Cowbell!” Thanks to you both for being on the team and making it a great race!…Also, thanks for running Galena!
