More Rockin' K Trail Run Photos

Here are a few more photos from the Rockin' K Trail race on Saturday.
Yes, there are female Trail Nerds, as well. We don't discriminate. A (trail) nerd is a nerd.
All of them finished and did very well, by the way.

Ben,
That's a pretty good turn out of Trail Nerds for a road trip. We had 3 do the 50k, 7 run the 25k and 2 volunteer at the 1st water only aid station from the 7 Hills RC. Of course this was in our home course.

It was a nice weekend all-around, and it WAS well-attended by us Trail Nerds.

Just for you, the Raccoon and Wildlife report:
In the middle of the night, I had to scare-off a big, fat raccoon that was eating my dog's food. My dog was really pissed, but he kept quiet upon my urging.
We woke up to the sounds of wild turkeys gobbling.
I didn't see any prairie dogs, this time.
I saw quite a few hawks.
Buzzards galore...in fact, you knew where the next runner was (on the course) due to the circling buzzards following them.
2 lizards
2 snakes.
1 tick (on me).
Lots of leaches.
Lots of spiders.
Lots of various flying bugs.
Tons of deer.
Horses and horse people.

Hey...nobody mentioned leaches when I first started thinking of being a trail runner! Cripes!! You're freakin me out now!!

Leeches are no problem. If one attaches to you, don't try to pull it off...it's too slippery to do easily. To take it off, you just break open an electrolyte capsule and sprinkle some salt on it. It comes off quickly.

Looks like a fun time..

Hey, since I agreed with your list of shit music, I must offer you a CD of my old radio show, The Sound Experiment. Your profile mentioned you like eclectic and wierd. I may have a good mix for you.

If an hour long radio show of experimental music and sound interests you, email me a snail mail addy at oregonprogressive-at-yahoo.com.
