My dad's hundred mile race was in August, and I went to it. I had to wake up at 5am. My dad's friend Marissa was driving me around. We were crewing him. Crewing is when you meet your runner at all the different aid stations. The race was in Mount Tam--it was called "Headlands 100 and 50", because there was a 50-mile race going on at the same place. On the way there, I ate a berry muffin that we had bought the day before. When we got there it was about 6am. The race started at 7am, so we had to wait in the freezing cold. Oh, and when we got there, a man gave me a glow necklace. (A few days later I made it into glow bracelets.)
When the race started, my dad was in the front. After it started, we went to the beach that was right in front of the start. After the beach we went to meet my dad at the second aid station (we forgot to go to the first one). At the second aid station, we saw the guy who gave me the glow necklace, so he gave me some more glow sticks and connectors (connectors are stuff that connect the glow sticks). There were lots more aid stations and all of the aid stations were repeated four or five times.
The finish was at the same place as the start. My dad finished on the morning of the next day. When my dad finished, he ate a doughnut and drank some tea or coffee-I forget which one it was. Oh, I forgot, my dad got seventh place. I had a bad cramp when he was finished, so I just had half a doughnut, a little of a bagel, and some hot chocolate. After that we went home. When we got home it felt so good to see my mom, brush my hair (because my hair was all tangly), and take a shower. After my dad took a shower, he was laying in my bed. My mom and brother went out and got my dad some breakfast and got me some coke because I was exhausted. The rest of the day was great, too.
