More Big Bend 25k - the start and finish

Thanks to my buddy, Mike Escalante, for these pics.  Mike volunteered during the race and was first in on Wednesday and last out on Tuesday - and got to drive the race vehicle - FJ Cruiser. Here's me at the start (brrrrr)

and with fellow Brak Pak'ers, Christina and John

and here I am after about 15.4 miles of trail - bringing home the finish

still finishing - and bringing it in looking like a crazy running chicken in the desert

and, it's in the books (the time clock is about 1 hour off, since the 50k folks started before us - that's their time)

and here's Mike with his race ride...
