      Helmet-cam, baby!

       

      Well, if you wear a helmetcam, make sure not to land headfirst.

      It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

        Ah. I suppose you're never too old to learn you're not young anymore.

          Water crossings = wet feet.  Solution?  Keep on running, they dry.   Big grin


          There were about 10 or more water crossings not to mention shoe removing mud.

            Such an amazing weekend!  The RD and all the volunteers went above and beyond in making sure everyone was taken care of and happy.

             

            I didn't take as many pictures during the race as I was hoping to, but I did get some.  The rest are just from the weekend overall.

                Mishka will be writing a race report for us.  He's much better at putting experiences into words.  Smile

                  Run until the trail runs out.

                    Definite congrats. Looked at the pics, I won't be whining about the one little water obstacle we have in our upcoming 50. Okay, that's a total lie, I will be whining about it, but I'll feel a little guilty. Excellent work both of you!

                      That's the beauty of ultrarunning. Pretty much every one I have done had that experience.

                       

                      Congrats to you both! Looks like a heck of a run!
