Dude, Where's the Trail (and Heat)?






Yesterday, I had quite the run at the Dude, Where's the Trail 50K.
This race has a lot of woodsy bushwhacking, running through tall grass, and orienteering involved...hence the name.
This year, we had snow and steady strong winds to contend with. It's normally a very beautiful run, but with the snow it was even prettier.




I was developing a cold prior to the race, and it's in full-swing, right now. I bruised my right heel last week, and it's a little ragged today. I'm feeling pretty good (considering), other than that. Lou Joline's races are "quirky," but always a lot of fun. You get a lot of bang for the buck with Lou's races.




I'll let the photos tell the story. See the rest of Dick Ross' photos.

    Did you all have elk steaks after the run?

  3. Great job, considering everything. I wanted to do that run but just didn't feel quite ready to race. Wish I would've now.

  5. In practice the idea may provide a coherent underlying architecture on which to build processes that aid organizations and institutions to manage the social returns of their investments in a transparent and quantifiable way.

  6. This issue has become a pervasive theme during the conference that the representatives have unanimously decided to do something radical to address the problem.
