Hey, guys, Joseph Chacon here
With the CQ
Real Estate Group
powered by Keller Williams Realty.
We're over here at the 2021
Duke City Marathon.
of course with Team CQ Carissa
Carissa, what are we doing here?
We are gathering a team
to run in the Duke City Marathon,
supporting CQ and the city.
*GUN GOES OFF*
The gun just went off, the race
just started, energy is high,
so we're excited to be here.
Absolutely.
Going over there in the area
where the vendors are.
There's twister's burritos over there,
Big five sponsoring this event,
giving away free swag.
All the teams are ready to go
and getting to their spots.
Really excited for the relay.
Really excited for the Walkers.
Let's go ahead and do this.
Come on, guys.
So what we did is we had three
different teams
that were relay teams.
That's five people
on each relay team.
And then we had three
awesome walkers.
Hey Britt you told us
you walked a certain way.
Yep, there you go.
We started the relay race at 7:00.
The Walkers started at 8:00,
so you had the starting person
who had an 8.4 mile run,
which handed off into a 6.2
mile run , which handed off
into a 4.2 mile run back to a 6.8
and ended off with a 4.8 run,
going back to all the way
before the event.
We started training on Saturdays
with a small crew
building up to the event,
Doing a quick short run for the Duke
City Marathon.
If anyone wants to know
what it looks like to run
with your hands in your pockets.
That's what it looks like.
Pretty cool.
I'm giving you thumbs up but you can't tell
We did that.
Even the day before the marathon,
we went out for a quick run together
and just kept the energy
up, the energy, high
Duke City runners in action
Good Job man!
How'd you guys do?
You in pain?
Your turn.
It hurt
No my Knees
felt good, it was.
I expected my knees to hurt,
but the runner caught me
by surprise so quickly.
I just ran.
It never really registered.
you made it.
I was like, I'll be back in an hour.
Awesome, dude.
how'd it feel?
Yeah, the whole thing is that I keep
focused on a goal.
I was just always looking for the end
or the next transition
or the next Gatorade thing.
And then once I saw
the end I was all...
I can push it,
It's almost over
I'm on my way.
And then,
And then, John, wasn't there
JOHN!!!
C'mon he's coming!
Let's go, let's go,
let's go.
So one of my favorite moments
about this experience was obviously
finishing the race
with our relay teams.
But one of the best parts about
that was my son actually
jumped in impromptu and I look over
and he has just this biggest
proudest smile.
And I just remember being brought
to almost tears with joy
seeing him in that moment.
It was just such a beautiful time
for me
for most of the people
running in the Duke City
Marathon this year.
It was also their first time
running in a relay race
as well as mine,
and it was just so much fun.
The energy was so high
and I think we all got
probably the top third
of all of the relay teams,
which was kind of exciting
and unexpected for all of us.
So fun times, man.
We had a great time with it.
