And those wasps would've chased my ass for sure.<BR/><BR/>Well, that turned out well, and 'races' make the best training runs, don't they? Good job!Mr. Satan A.

I had to walk the whole last 5k of that race when I did it (and I only did the 15k or 17 or whatever it was) and I didn't have any wasps to contend with!!!

You must have kind of special talent with them....any chance you'll give some lessons so that I can have the same fate the next time around? (the 50 miler I'm signed up for next has rumors of more yellow jackets :( )<BR/><BR/>really though, sounds like you had a really great race out there!

I enjoy reading your reports even though I believe myself to be absolutely physically or mentally incapable of ever recreating them myself.

Wasn't it?<BR/><BR/>I would like to thank my late Great Aunt Dorothy for the four leaf clover charm I was wearing for our escape from the stingers. At one point, there was a lady in front of me who had been stung 4 times, once in the butt. And a woman behind me with 3, also stung in the ass. I don't know how we made it through. <BR/><BR/>It was great meeting you too Miki and I just sent you the photos so you can post them with pride. I cringe just looking at your poor ankle. <BR/><BR/>And photos to come Renee! I'm making sure to delete all photos where we don't look totally heroic and muscular. It might take a while.3 non joggershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17537313841805309584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302291668541234072.post-5515174624689862662007-09-17T14:15:00.000-07:002007-09-17T14:15:00.000-07:00I still have the footprint on my back from where y...I still have the footprint on my back from where your brother pushed off to get his great 50K time. :p<BR/><BR/>Kidding! Congrats on a safe, well run race Rusty. And thanks for tightening the bandana. I can't believe you guys avoided ALL the bees and yellow jackets. What's your secret? <BR/><BR/>It was great to meet you both and to hang out with Ann at the Aid Station. She took some awesome photos of my foot which I'm sure you've seen. She's funny. Gave my boyfriend shit which is always good. Something about hanging out with squirrels and sneaking away to get drunk and stuff. :p<BR/><BR/>Brookdale Lodge is suppose to be haunted by the way.

Then you could trip over Miki on a trail. Then you could get stung by shit. You are SO BRAVE!<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on another well-run training run that sounds harder than most races I do. I can't wait for the photos. No pressure. Really.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609653940286042245noreply@blogger.com
