Hagg Lake Ultra is the hardest race that I have ever done and it is the longest race that I have run. I participated in the 25k which is 15.3 miles. The course had been run on twice the day before in the 50k race and my friends and I run slowly so the course had been run on for the third time before us. It was incredibly muddy and some parts were still icy. To say that we ran the course would be a lie....what we really did was a combination of running, jogging, walking, skidding, slipping, jumping and the occasional bounding. I was lucky enough not to slip and fall but my friend, Jen, managed to bite it four times and luckily never get injured.
Our pace was incredibly slow (it took us four hours to finish) and there was nothing we could really do about it. I decided that since we were already going so slow that we might as well take some pictures. :-) Here are some pictures of Jen, Robyn and me during and after the race. I am also posting a picture of the front of the race shirt and the finisher socks.
BTW...we didn't finish last!!!
Your pictures are so much fun! Maybe next year I can run Hagg too. Just didn't seem like fun if I had to get onto a plane right afterwards. At least next year I might have some vacay time.
