Colorado Outward Bound Relay (8-9 SEP 06)

The Colorado Outward Bound relay is a 170-mile continuous race from Idaho Springs to Glenwood Springs, over a series of gnarly mountain passes.

A group of fools from the lowlands of Central NC rose to the challenge: Teams Rockin' the Rockies and Rollin' the Rockies of Millstriders running club brought the heady scent of Okra, Cornbread and desparation to the Western hills. It was a successful jaunt, with the teams scoring 43rd and 44th places out of 133 finishers.

EvilKatz > Stuart gives it berries on leg #1.

EvilKatz > Dog laughs at runners. Later: cat chuckles at runners. Much later: hamster mocks runners.
