Pikes Peak Road Runners Full Moon Run

Tuesday, 10/14/08:

The Pikes Peak Road Runners Full Moon Run started near Beckers and Manitou by the ball field. JT and I extended the "long route" for ourselves to 5.2 miles. Man, it is gettin' chilly out there--I better get used to it because I'm not letting up!

At the first beer stop (we spent quite a while there drinking PBR--until the sun went down to be exact):


Saturday/Sunday - September 27-28 - Cripple Creek Crawl:

Herb Tanzer and I decided to do this "Muddy Buddy" style taking one mountain bike with us. I started out on foot and Herb started on the bike. The objective: Every 9 miles or so, the biker drops the bike and takes off on foot. The previous runner picks up the bike and leap-frogs the runner and so on. This was working well until the front bike tire went flat. Since we weren't with the rest of the group and I had no spare tire, I ditched the bike and ran the rest of the way to Cripple Creek. Herb and I were the only two to run this event. Due to the bike problem, I ended up running a ridiculous ~32 miles. Herb took the wrong way at one point and ran all the way through Victor and up to Cripple Creek. Man, we have issues!

Patched the tire in Cripple Creek the following morning and rode back with the rest of the gang. Awesome time!
