Xterra trail series, race 4 (starlight event) : a race report in haiku



running in the dark
all 'round a mountain bike park
with husband in tow

some steep hills, too:
up to twenty five percent
hell on my poor calves




pizza at the end
running with my bestest friend
fantastic event!

Very poetic and must have been quite different to run round in the dark.

The first thought looking at that photo was playing "spotlight" at school camp.

Yay! The Welly version looked fun as well. Next year I'll have to drag Sarah or Jo along with me.

Kate said...

Pip- I was IN Welly!

Yeah duh! I realised that after I posted my own comment and then saw your Tumblr post. Weren't you lucky with the weather!

Sounds like a great race! I love the haiku! My favorite line is "running with my bestest friend."

Sounds like fun.

Makes me think I'd better go ride my bike in the dark.
