My brother Kirby has a lil addiction to these trail runs which to be honest I did not understand. After experiencing one (because it really is an experience, not just a run) and processing/exclaiming the results to him he hinted that I have now had a good go at it and understand the fun and may myself get hooked. I fear he may be right! :)
My "uniform". Oh yes I did. this was my coping mechanism not to be so intimidated (7.1 miles with hideous elevation change) for the race... dress like the soccer player that I am. And no, those aren't polka dots, they're soccer ball print! Touche' for this Goodwill-find-of-a-gem.
A couple pix from the race website:
Yet another hill... nooooo!

Runner's pose. Heidi would say "Kendra you have the weirdest ideas for photos". What can I say? Life is fun!
This was how everyone finished the race before crossing the timing mat. I slid down head first and it was a truly fantastic way to end the race!
