Tom and I both ran the Escalade Race this past Saturday, 8K and 5K, respectively. First a background on the Escalade. It's a local Geneva holiday that celebrates the day the Genevois defeated the neighboring French and retained their independence. I'm not sure why racing has become part of the festivities, but it's a big deal in Geneva, with over 20,000 people racing from age 5 and up. The courses go through the picturesque streets of old town Geneva. There were about 1500 people running in each of our races- we definitely weren't prepared for the stampede and adrenaline rush this made for! But it was still a great experience.
Here is me running the race, and a shot at the end with my cheerleaders.
Tom was a good sport and waited patiently until the evening to run his race. Here's a pic of Tom finished, and with Asia and I.

They really do take that race seriously. I guess Tom didn't do that well in the race to be locked up like that.
