The course, an out and back, allowed everyone to see how they were
doing as they passed on the trail. The traffic only made the trails
more slippery and the going harder but Geo Toomey (1:03:00 10K)
and Curt Brown (30:30 5K)came in after one circuit neck and
neck. Lucky for Curt, the race was over for him with a first place
finish while Geo had to head out for more punishment before taking the
win in the 10K.
Only one bloody incident to report. Jim Hurst ran into a tree branch, but I'm not sure who was hurt more -- Jim or the tree!!
The course gets tougher by the year! The weather adds a little difficulty and mother nature leaves us guessing. T-shirt sales were brisk, suggesting people were proud of their accomplishments and proud to show off their accomplishment.
Hopefully, the weather will be worse next year and the course will get even uglier! See you next January!
