Michelle and Gus
Michelle and Gus arrived shortly after 4am. They participate every year - or pretty much every year - and so they know the drill. They have comfortable shoes, strong coffee, and Michelle's bag is stocked with bandaids, Advil, joint and muscle pain relief rub, snack bars, lots of water bottles, and more.
Being the sociable couple that they are, they signed up at registration and then began to chat with everyone, smiling and joking. They're here to have fun and to last as long as they can, but mostly to have fun.
