Marathon

Charlotte and I had a fun day today. We got to check out the Bahrain International Circuit where an F1 Race takes place every year. We didn't go there for a car race; we went there for a running race! Chris and a bunch of other guys from work participated in a marathon relay that is an annual event here. It was a pretty big deal with lots and lots of runners. Chris' team came in 14th but they would've done a lot better if something hadn't gone amiss. One of the runners on his team wasn't at his spot to receive the baton and he didn't show for some time later. Needless to say, none of the guys on his team were very happy! Here's some pictures from the day. They even had a play area for the kids! Too bad Charlotte is still a little too small for that. The race track pictures are probably more for my dad who looooves racing (especially F1), and I hope he'll get to see it in person before Chris and I leave Bahrain in 3 years.
