Was a volunteer at the Pony Express Trail Run (50 & 100 miles). Great fun, except being on the port-a-potty crew, but even that wasn't too bad. Get to work check-in, the starting line, Blackrock 50 mile finish line, and the Simpson springs 100 mile finish line. Met my goal to run a half marathon distance (cumulative) during the day. Found lost key, rid the Blackrock aid station of an intruding rattlesnake (humanely relocating him back to the desert), fixed flat tires, and recorded finish times. Was privileged to watch endurance athletes accomplish amazing feats. Met and made many new friends while enjoying the company of old friends. |
