Pineland Farms Trail Challenge: Spectator Report

Today was the Pineland Farms Trail Challenge. Ian, Erik and all the volunteers, did an awesome job - it was a great race, with a fun time had by all. Although I was a bit sad to not be participating as a racer, it was actually a lot of fun to spectate and cheer all of our friends on. I spent the day cheering, chatting with friends, eating and hanging out, enjoying the great atmosphere.

There were some really awesome races to be had by all the Trail Monsters today. Nice work everyone!! I am also super proud of Snowman for pushing through some major calf and shoulder cramping to finish strong in his debut as an ultra runner! Woohoo :-)

Since pictures are worth a 1000 words, here are my photos from the day. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get shots of all the Trail Monsters, but I think these shots cover the range of emotions from the day - from lots of smiles to the requisite pain and suffering of ultrarunning thrown in too!
