Beat the Bridge Rap

Team Rabbit, STUK, and JRab (Jeff aka Jack Rabbit) all ran across the Chesapeake Bay...

The distance of the inaugural event was a 10K!

They crossed the water, running on the bridge; 

After CanLake50 SRab thought a 10K was just a smidge!!
Do you know who William Preston Lane, Jr. is? A little trivia for our peeps!  
As the Governor of Maryland who initiated the construction, this bridge is for keeps! 

On Saturday EBun, SRab, and STUK hit up packet pick-up

Got their bibs and t-shirts after a little directional mix-up!

Packet Pick-up - check!

Later on had some beer and Italian food that was fabulous!

Miller Lite in a Heiny Glass? Why not!

And spent the night at the O’Callaghan Hotel in Annapolis!

But first to get to CVS they took a cool, free trolley-

Since they forgot to bring some essentials with them, by golly!

But there's something you can't get at CVS...

Just call them 'unmentionables', if you have to guess!

Turns out SRab saved EBun's day by packing something extra

Do Rabbits have each others' backs? Oh yeah, you betcha! 

EBun saw some Z peeps at the beginning and the end;

It is always nice to get to see some friends!

SRab and STUK are waiting for their wave to begin

With a really beautiful sunrise view, for the win! 

They announced all 50 states and 11 countries were represented-

Pretty cool for going over a bridge that was suspended!

Another lovely sunrise shot!

EBun had planned this race as her "A"

After a tough October she did her best this day!

For STUK the race was kind of like a "C" -

She took lots of pictures of the scenery!

SRab was totally happy not to walk a step;

Can’t believe after doing the CanLake shuffle she still had some pep!

Looking at the water from above was surreal - so inviting and calm…

The water looking so calm!

No sign of all that chop from June which gave EBun and STUK a few qualms!

During the race both Rabbits felt a bit overdressed.

Since by perfect weather they were certainly blessed!

At the finish line received a medal which was shiny and bright-

It's like a puzzle piece - outta sight!!

After finishing the race STUK was so thirsty;

Went to the beer tent and they gave her one for free!

EBun made a new friend in the coffee line;

A South Carolina Gamecock with a fast finish time! 

Everyone met up by the beer tent shaped like a dome...

Hung out for a bit before heading back home! 

The organization for the race was off the charts -

These Rabbits and friends racing give it FIVE HEARTS

On the way home stopped at Smoky Bones and gave it a thumbs up:

And as they walked out of the place they all said s'up?!

Team Rabbit and STUK combine to be Rabbituk;

They always have lots of fun but promise not to create havoc!

The Rabbituk friends really thought that Across the Bay 10K race rocked

They would definitely do it again - so don't be shocked!
