We had one participant in the 4-legged division. Charlie did his best to lap the field by running from the leader to the caboose, over and over again. I'm not sure there's anything better than seeing a dog take off down the trail. Pure bliss.
Charlie also managed to take out one runner. Mary fell prey to his spontaneous backtrackings and arrived at the finish line with dirty hands, asking "What's my prize?"
The Grand Prize -- a copy of Scott Jurek's Eat & Run -- went to Logan. Logan drove a scooter from Oshkosh to the finish line, then ran to the start line, and THEN ran back with us. What a guy!
Chrissie (sorry about the spelling if it's wrong!) and Naomi joined the GTR's for their first trail run and were all smiles at the end. Thanks for coming, Ladies, and see you at the next one!
Several participants took advantage of the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale I had packed for the finish line. Considering we finished running just before 10 AM, I was a bit hesitant to bring beer along...but it's official, we're a trail running group! It's never too early for a beer after a nice jaunt in the woods.
Dad duties called for me, so I didn't get to partake in the breakfast at Fudgie's after, but next time I'll be there! Thanks again to everyone, and we'll see you at the next run!
Sorry for the huge pictures...here's the album...
