Pictures of Bud at the WV Trilogy Run
Before the race getting a bit to eat.
I took this after 2 miles. They did a loop to get warmed up before hitting the real woods. He waved at me and off he went. No time to stop and chat.

(The skies never opened up, but it was still beautiful.)
Runners' Tents
Many runners stayed in tents in the fields...
lots of them ran all three races...
lots of them ran all three races...
Not Buddy! One was enough.
Path after Start of Race
He had to cross several streams...one up to his knees. It scares me to death being that he is one of those that never learned to swim.
It never stopped misting rain...sometimes heavier than others.
There were many SERIOUS climbs
with LOTS of slippery rocks to get across.
He was happy to see this footbridge :-)
His race color was the red.
I was driving out after the race started when I spotted this fascinating rock.
There were rain droplets over all the grass. For some reason this is my favorite shot of all the ones I took around the race site.
This is the road I was driving on and the one the runners ran on. There were several places where there were rubber thingies sticking up. Am assuming that was to help with mud wash and pothole prevention from all the rain.
Serious Fog...
This was taken just a bit farther down the road.
This is the one shot Bud took that really made me grin.
He said these horseshoes were in the path at the finish.
What a great idea!
