The Texas Independence Relay is composed of 40 relay legs of various lengths, totaling over 200 miles. The course starts in Gonzales, where the spark of the Texas Revolution took place, and it finishes at the San Jacinto Monument, where Texas Independence was won! To tackle this formidable task, teams of up to 12 members make the trek through Gonzales, Shiner, Moulton, Flatonia, Schulenburg, Weimar, Borden, Columbus, Altair, Eagle Lake, Wallis, Orchard, Simonton, and Fulshear. This all took place over Saturday and Sunday, March 28 – 29. This year Finish Strong athletes' Christina Farooq, Andy Brock and Ken Page were among the members of one team and Gabriel Belforti and Eduardo Garzon on another team that participated in this big relay weekend.
Christina reports that her team's name was ISLAGIATT ("It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time") finished in @ 27:47. Christina ran 4 shifts for @20 miles.
Gabe and Eduardo report that their TENARIS turtle team finished in 25:16:39. Gabe reports, "I was the
team captain for the Tenaris Turtle Team and we had a blast! We did 25:16:39 hours.
A whole new record for our team in its 4th edition." See below for pics.
