Mt Hood Scramble, 2009

This past weekend, I participated in my very first race! It was hard, cold, wet, rugged, 6 miles and AWESOME. I placed 27th in my age bracket and took about 1 1/2 hours to complete. The course, created by the X Dog Events, happens annually. This year they maxed registration and represented 21 states!! woo-hoo. The event is quite a spectacle!! You can check the website for more info and other pics of the runners.
(not the handiest website to maneuver, but hey, they got one)

As for my preparation, which was very minimal because I rarely run, I have been extremely sore this week. It hasn't helped my 10mi bike to and from work... but I am hoping it will pay off in the long run. So enjoy the pictures and let me know if you are up for a less intense hike on the Mountain.
