July went out with a bang, a relay and a race down under! Congrats to all the teams who took part in the Riverside Relay on a muggy Saturday night! Congrats to everyone who survived the Arena Challenge Saturday morning and to Michelle Walker who survived the threat of dingo's and Vegemite sandwiches (80's Men at Work reference for you kids) and finished the marathon on her 7th continent, what a weekend!








And..well....I'm not sure what was going on here????
