My husband is currently looking at FAIL blog and ran across this image. I could only imagine that it was what the guy was wearing. Except of course white shirt and tights as described by my sis. Elisa, can you confirm this?

They Made It...
15 miles.
I think what they did is amazing! My sister and mom finish at 15 miles. Elisa injured her knee at around 10 miles and was limping pretty bad. 5 more miles, my sister just couldn't do it anymore. With barricades and drink stationes being cleaned up, they didn't think it would be best to carry on. Especially without having drinks ready and waiting for them in addition to Elisa's injury.
Elisa commented that she wished she would've just went for the half mile and they would've crossed the finish line. But hey... that's 13 miles! Being hurt and succeeding to go further, that's great! Way to go sis!!
They were able to get something to drink and a ride to the end of the marathon. Several people had quit at 8 miles. So my mom and sis did great! At the end 5 people were on stretchers, 8 in chairs and my sis was able to get ice applied to her knee.
They just called a bit ago. A guy walking the marathon just passed the finish line. He was wearing white tights, a white leotard, a white netted tutu and a hat. Coming from his Err... well... Was a long bird head. Why was this guy dressed like this? Who knows! Elisa and mom were so shocked, they did not get a picture. Darn! Ha Ha!
We will have an official blog post from my sister and mom as soon as they are ready. Thank you all for participating in their journey!!
for the cure!

Things Are Slowing Down
Since hurting her knee, Elisa has begun to limp pretty bad. They are about 14-15 miles in. Barricades and mile markers have been torn down, so they are not 100% sure. They were thirsty and stopped at one of the stations hoping to get Gatorade, but that also has been packed up. I wish I was there! I feel so helpless!! They are not sure how much more they are going to be able to do, with being hurt and thirsty. Naoi has been called, but is not answering. My mom stopped an officer to see if he could find them something to drink. He left to see if he could. I hope he comes back with something to offer them! If not a drink, at least a ride.
Almost 13 miles in!
They're almost to the tunnel! I miss this tunnel! Every time we drove through it, we'd honk :) Good times!
My sister is having a problem with her knee, so my mom has asked for prayer. The last couple miles had a lot of twists and turns and just hurt their ankles and knees. Mom said to pray that their muscles don't give out. They must be hurting bad :(
Mile 10
WOW!! Just wow! I feel really emotional. Mile 10 is reached! I can only imagine what they must be feeling in their legs right now!! When My mom and I walked for Relay for Life (8 miles) our legs hurt! The next day is going to be gruesome!
Beautiful Scenery
They get to enjoy the beautiful parts of Maui (Including the sunsets)!!
It makes me want to participate in the marathon!

Steepest Incline Reached
Mom said that mile 8 - 10 would be the steepest incline and for us to pray. They just reach it and are at 8 1/2 miles!! Way to go Mom and Elisa!! You guys are rocking this!!
For those reading and looking at pics, my mom has promised a pic at the half way point. They are almost there and should be there in about an hour or so.
She called me and was huffing and puffing. Encouraging my sister "You can do this!"
Just received a picture...
