WWR Videos from Past Years

I have never run, or seen, any sort of long distance relay.  My curiosity, and a distinct lack of motivation to write an environmental chemistry paper, got the best of me.  I hit YouTube and found the following videos put together by teams from previous years (mainly 2009).  Anyway, I've put in some comments for places in each video that I thought were interesting.  Notice how much fun everyone seems to be having...and enjoy.

Phillip's Phools '09. 0:22 - 2:00: some good shots of the start, 6:00 - 6:33: description of sleeping conditions, 8:25: some crazy dude running, 9:00 - 9:26: good description of the end of the race.

Kit Carson Cruisers '09.  About 4:00 into the video you see how cold it is at night up there. 4:40 shows how we are going to be sleeping.  The last 10 seconds are pretty good, as well.

Wyoming Wild Women '09. 1:39-2:00 shows some of the unexpected weather (heavy rain and maybe some hail, judging by the welts on the runner)

Shut it Down and Adapt & Overcome '09. 5:55: shows how cold the morning is.  Some pretty cool views...and they show why we need vans, not open air trucks.

Club Ed '09. 2:09 - 2:17: Check out the skull on the hood and the decorations on the side. 3:05: shows what else will be on the road during the run.  5:10: more sleeping conditions pics.  Indoor, this time.  5:40: outdoor sleeping conditions and more van decor.
