Hot tip: Learn how to use your new camera BEFORE using it on a race. It was probably dangerous fiddling with the buttons while running along a ridge and a technical trail. Oh well, I lived.
Chuckanut was to be a 'training race' for my running friends in preparation for Capitol Peaks 50 mile. Unfortunately, I had a miserable cold, but I sucked it up and in the end the misery of the cold was offset by such a beautiful day and a wonderful race! Funny, I drank a LOT of water, and it all seemed to fall out of my nose... by the end of the run my sinus's were clear !!
Hope this choppy video sums it up:
I was so happy to meet up with one of my training partners at the end. We agreed not to have a 'race sprint' against each other to the finish line, (to save ourselves for the next race). We pushed forward, for a nice, easy cruise across the finish line together... awwww.. Thats what friends are for :-)
And now, I have to prepare for an 80 K (50 mile).... I'm afraid, very afraid......
