The 2010 ILP Relay


Last weekend I ran the ILP relay with twelve other runners. The ILP relay is a 200 mile run from Calistoga to Davenport. In the relay, I ran 16.2 miles in total. Our time was 34 hours. Google 1 won again, at a time of 21 hours 9 minutes! The record for the 200 miles was in the year 2,000, when the team Sportbrain ran it in 17 hours and 55 minutes! That is about 5 minutes a mile! Each person on the relay team runs each of there total mileage in sections. For example: I run 6.5 miles, then the other eleven runners run until it is my turn again. This repeats three times. While one person is running, the other teammates that are in the van are supporting there teammate. Runner number ten has the hardest legs. The skill level for that runner is:Very Hard(8.9 miles) Easy(4.2 miles) Very Hard(6.2 miles). In the ILP relay we got 2nd! We beat the next team by about 15 minutes, and the team ahead of us beat us by about 35 minutes, which was really good. If you want more information about the 200 mile relay, go to www.therelay.com.

The Awesome Wii


A couple weeks back I got the Wii! Do you have the Wii. The Wii is a very popular game console. One of the most popular games on the Wii is Super Smash Bros Brawl. Have you heard of that game? The Wii is wireless, which is a good thing about it. Another awesome game is Wii resort. Wii resort is another version of Wii sports. There are 12 games in Wii resort. Some of them are: fencing, archery, frisbee, and skydiving! The game also comes with a Wii motionplus sensor, that when attached to the Wii remote, makes the remote more accurate! There are people called Mii's. They are humans that you can create on the Mii channel. If you like the Olympics, Wii summer and winter Olympics is the right game for you! In the summer Olympics, you get to do everything from running, to swimming. The winter Olympics relates to the winter Olympics a couple weeks back. In conclusion, tell us what your pros and cons are about the Wii.
