        impressive to still have that competitive fire.

          Congrats on the AG win. I find GPS gets really wacky on courses with lots of turns, it can be amusing if you zoom in on the route--you may have run over buildings and not even known it.

            That sounds like a tough race with all the hills and turns. You did great, as the AG win proves. Congrats!

                beer run - it's what keeps me moving - since I really don't like running much.  Too hard.

                 

                Half Crazy K 2.0 - Oh yeah - a couple miles of the run was through a grave yard - that's where many of the turns were.  If we had followed the GPS course we would have been tripping over tombstones.

                  Those twisting courses can be difficult.  Congrats on a great race and 1st place AG finish.   I've never seen a race with hummus as the prize.  I hope it was tasty.

                  Life is good.

                    Way to, bluesky!!  Beer glass and hummus sounds like an awesome prize to me.  That course sounds...interesting.  The hills sound tough enough, but 36 turns?  I'd like to see the route on a map.

                      Tripping over tombstones, sounds like the race was held about 2 weeks early. Sounds like some sort of Halloween run.

                          I've visited my cousin in Hendersonville, so I know what you mean about the hills in the area. That's a superb time for a hilly course. Congrats on beating your rival. Those kinds of races make for great memories.

                            The only thing missing after running on that was pinning the tail on a donkey. lol

                                It was/is.  Locally made stuff with lots of selections.  My favorite is the mango sriracha - had to sort through a bunch to find one.
