Batavierenrace!

Here's the link to the website. (http://www.batavierenrace.nl/english/)

Yesterday I 'competed' in this event. As the website says, it's the biggest relay of the world (we have the guinness record :D), over 180 km, divided in 25 stages, and over 300 teams competing (so more then 7.5K students running, and even more on the party).

It was realy great! The race started friday at 2 am or so, I was in the 'afternoon' group so I could sleep untill like 8am (though my flatmates woke me at 3am :P) and ended at 7pm. I had the honour to run the last stage, 8.5 km from the city to the campus, with the finnish on the track, with thousends of people crowd cheering like student can cheer ;).
Did quite well, although I didn't feel all too well during running, but got 18th in a time of 29min48s.
Our team got 207th though.

Do you (wherever you are) have any races like that?

btw. the afterparty was huge :D (imagine more then 10k people ;)).

ooh, never had anything like that here :P you did pretty well considering you were 18th and your team 207th? How many teams were there? 207? =P

ive got the same thing... i prefer to do things voluntarily

its like when my mom asks me if i want to do something i usually say yes.

my dad usually doesnt give me a choice, well he says something like: would you like too see how to clean the car properly? Which means: "come and clean the car"
