The Mt Si Relay is a 57 mile, five person relay event held in the Snoqualmie and North Bend area, east of Seattle.  Each person runs two legs, and some of the legs have some fairly challenging hills.  There are also 50 mile or 50K ultra events too.  The event is staged by the Eastside Runners, and the race director is the inimitable Willie Sato.  This year, we were blessed with beautiful weather, although it got pretty toasty for those of us with later legs.  It turned out to be the warmest day of the year so far - reaching the mid 70s.  That's July weather here.

The pictures posted here were taken by Phil Bloch and myself, using my camera.  I've broken the pictures down into three general categories : pictures of my team, pictures of Eastside Runners, and miscellaneous shots taken on the course.  I have a bunch of others I've not yet posted, and know that some more folks took pictures too.  We're looking into posting them to a photo-sharing site so people can view and purchase pictures they like.

If you're a member of the Eastside Runners club, and want to request the full-resolution versions of these pictures, send me mail and let me know which ones you'd like.  I can either email them too you (they're big though), or bring a CD to a group run.
