This is what the transition area looked like. Sorry it's so blurry - I'm not good at night photography.

20in24 - running in the dark
Here's Kristine finishing up her second lap. She looks awesome! by now it's about midnight.
20in24 - we're transformed!
Here are our alter-egos posing with their Midnight Madness race numbers. We decided not to run and amazingly we found these three random people who decided at 10 that they wanted to run the loop at Midnight. Luckily we had enough bibs to help them to do it! The bibs also had our names on them so it was especially nice that our genders matched up properly. I can't wait to see how fast they were -- I'm sure the pretend me is a lot faster than the real me!
20in24 - it's getting late
This is me after my 2nd lap and Brian, all fresh, clean and showered after his two laps were finished. Despite the sweat and stuff, we both look OK for having run 17 miles in 90+ heat, huh? By now, it's about 10PM
20in24 - ready for my 2nd lap
Here's me, the super-nerd, ready for my 2nd leg. I am wearing reflective gear and glowing stuff since it will get dark while I'm out there.
