Here is the official recap from the walk as taken from www.the3day.org:
The 2011 Susan G. Komen Washington, D.C. 3-Day for the Cure began early on a rainy Friday morning with an emotional Opening Ceremony at Washington Nationals Stadium. The 17-mile route featured many memorable highlights, including the Nation’s Capitol, the Botanical Gardens and the Smithsonian Museums. After a long day of walking, we settled in to camp at Avenel Park in Potomac, Maryland, our home away from home for the weekend.
On Saturday morning, we woke up early, ready to hit the trail again for another great day of walking. Saturday’s 21-mile route began with overcast skies and a nice 70 degree temperature, warming up in the late afternoon when the sun came out to join us. The cool, green landscape of the Potomac area was inspiring. Every step of the day’s route was filled with community support from local churches, Girl Scout Troops, and friends and family. After lunch, high-energy Kaxaxe’ Dance Troop got us up to speed to finish off a beautiful afternoon as we headed back to camp for a fun camp show and a good night’s rest.
Sunday’s 15-mile route wound through Bethesda and the neighborhoods of Northwest Washington, D.C. The cheering station at Dupont Circle was a great pink celebration with support from family and friends. We passed by the National Zoo and the White House as we headed onto the grounds of the Washington National Monument for a celebratory Closing Ceremony.

It is pretty accurate, but missing all the gory details. I will post my recap soon...
