Team Piraña’s TIR Top Tens
by admin on March 4, 2008
Top Ten Best Things: Our incredibly supportive families and friends who kept up with us via the web and posted great comments. Spending two nights at the Farmhouse in Shiner (Mav’s idea). Thanks Mike! Watching Goose tear holes in two (count em, two) pairs of shorts, one right after another! Free beer at Shiner (on […]
Just the Facts Ma’am
by admin on March 3, 2008

There’s No Place Like Home
by admin on March 3, 2008
The Pirañas are home! We got back to T3’s house (where all the cars were left for the trip) to find everyone’s car windows decorated! Very fun. It took a little while to unpack the Piraña Mobile (and we found a lot of really yucky stuff in the process) but finally everyone had their stuff […]
Taqueria
by admin on March 3, 2008
Looking for lunch we decided that T3’s experience after his final leg was worth recreating. So, we told Marg (our pet name for the GPS) to find a taqueria for us and we ended up here: We decided it looked like the place for us, so we went in. That was when we found out […]

We are on the road again, but this time we are driving, not running. Can you tell that we wore ourselves out? We should be home before supper time, but we plan to stop a few times to stretch
Sam, Sam, He’s Our Man
by admin on March 3, 2008
Team Piraña stopped to pay tribute to Sam Houston in his home town of Huntsville (we didn’t stay long as there is a State Prison there and several of the Piraña Brothers have outstanding warrants.) We struggled a little getting down the stairs (we are struggling a little getting in and out of the van […]
Happy Trails
by admin on March 3, 2008
It is now the morning after and we are definitely feeling the effects of what we did for the last 2 days. Last night we went down to the hotel restaurant and had burgers! Weeble was not feeling well so he went back up and laid down. We left most of the “race” stuff in […]
Maverick Loses Mind At Finish Line
by admin on March 2, 2008
After a great start and an even stronger run: Mav brought Team Piraña in in rapid style, but there was some concern that he was actually insane by the time he crossed the line (pun intended), you be the judge: Mav said when he finished he was seeing colors and stars and stuff. We kid […]
A Big Finish!
by admin on March 2, 2008
Big did the deed (the running one, not the other one) and ran a strong leg with an even stronger finish: He handed off to Mav for the 40th and final leg. We have been up for 35 hours and running for almost 33 hours and we know we are getting weird, but standing around […]
