Griffith Park Relay Marathon 2014

The Griffith Park relay was a fun event.  It was a picknick-like atmosphere where every runner did 5.3 miles. This year Gritty City had two teams participate.  There was a men's team and a women's team.
The men's team included: Danny, Adrian, Jason, Richard and Hugo.

The men's team ran hard and Hugo closed off the team with an amazing 36 minute split. The men ran strong but were defeated by the ARC men's open team.  Maybe next year.

For the women, Erin started off the women's team by running the fastest split of 39 minutes.  Vivian followed by running the second leg.  Tamera followed and battled the tough hills of Griffith Park and handed off the baton to Vanessa. Daisy closed off the team which finished in first place(women's open division.)
This was a great honor and next year, we are going for the elite division tittle!  

After the run, some of us danced to the DJ music and others went for another run.  Grits always want to add more miles.  The rosebowl hills were definately good training for todays run.  
Some of us hanging out after our runs.  It was a breezy day with perfect weather.
