We encountered two separate yellow-jacket attacks at Big Basin on Sunday. The second worse than the first, apparently here is why: “If you get stung, get moving! When yellow-jackets sting they may leave behind a small amount of chemical marker that identifies you as an enemy of the nest. For this reason you should quickly leave the area after being stung before other wasps have a chance to swarm.”  Both nests were near waterfalls (so they tell me, but I was too busy screaming to notice). The bees were sticking to our bodies and getting stuck in our hair. 

Today, two days later, I’m counting 14 stings total. The pain is gone, but they itch like crazy. I was one of the wimps who quit early. I think most people kept running. Mark finished the entire 15.9 miles, but I quit after the first 10 mile leg, which is where the first aid station was. Eleven days left until our marathon!
