Oh, the long awaited Day 3! This day started again at 5am with getting dressed (getting dressed on the 3-day for me meant, changing my pants and putting on a jacket. Lots of people sleep in their walking clothes to save time in the mornings), pack up your 35 lb bag, load luggage onto the truck, start taking down the tent until someone comes to rescue you, breakfast, and off to the bus. 
At 6:20, all 7 Z-Bra Girls loaded a bus to Pit Stop 1, and the route opened at 6:50am. 
Day 3's route is the shortest of them all, and I'm sure you can understand why. We walked through beautiful Highland Park, had lunch near Turtle Creek, continued walking through Victory Park and Downtown Dallas. We saw our destination of Fair Park many times through the winding route, but in order to get in the mileage we couldn't take the straight path. 
Finally at 3:35pm we arrived at Fair Park. The Z-Bra girls, arm in arm, walked into the Holding area.

My family was there waiting for me to take those last few steps of the 60 miles!
