Savannah Rock and Roll Half Marathon

Hyde and Key Smith trained for months for the 13.1 miles and finished strong! Key ran a 1:36. Hyde ran a 1:40:36 and finished as the 331st male and the 435th overall out of 16,000 runners. This was Savannah's first RNR Event and over 23,000 people ran Saturday morning.
I went and cheered the boys on at the starting line, mile 8, and mile 13. I was able to see some beautiful streets, squares, and houses on my walk but apparently they running route was not as scenic. They ended in Forsyth Park with a fun band, beer, and lots of runners donning their medal. It was colder than expected. It wouldn't have been too bad except the wind was 15-20 mph and made it much colder.
Hyde at mile 8. I learned that I needed to be on video mode. (He is the guy with the green shoes)

Disregard my terrible cheering voice.

This "Where's Waldo" crew was a crowd favorite. Next race, Hyde needs to wear something more noticeable so I can find him more easily in the crowd.
