Labor Day Weekend - Part II: The Big Race

Tim and his sister, Colleen, had a bet. They made this bet on January 4, 2009. The bet was whether or not Colleen could jog, walk, or crawl around Magician Lake (7 miles) in 1 hour 45 minutes or less. If Tim won, Colleen would reimburse him for the airline tickts for Labor Day Weekend. If Colleen won, Tim had to agree to fly home (with me in tow) for Christmas this year.

The big race was set to take place on Sunday morning September 6th. Colleen wanted to get started by 8am but after a sleepless night, she was up at 5am and out the door before 7:30.

Tim even brought stop watches to make sure not a second was missed!

Collen rocking out with her iPod, sets off on a good pace.

Sister Kathy and niece Kelly come out for support.

"Official" Tim keeps a close watch.

A little more than a mile from the finish line.

All the fans at the finish line.

Tim and Colleen... and the results...?

2 minutes and 13 seconds to spare!

It's not hard to tell that the fans were cheering for Colleen...

...except for this one for Tim.

What's next?
"Tim, buy a winter coat"... you're going to
Chicago for Christmas!
