Uwharrie 2008

I had a wonderful time at the Uwharrie Mountain Run last weekend. The race is very well organized, with good coordination at the start and finish and great support along the course. Very highly recommended.
Showing off 20-miler finisher pottery
I ran the 20 miler as my final long run before a fast attempt at Myrtle Beach next weekend, and was able to avoid any major injuries despite the tricky footing (wet feet, minor blisters, and very sore climbing muscles don’t count). While I tried to remain very conservative and not race (I started mid-pack and cautiously stayed behind traffic for most of the first 8 miles), I was happy I ran every hill except the first. I still finished in 3:28 and some change, good enough for 18th overall. I want to return next year and race it.
Susi deserves congratulations; she finished a very respectable 18th female in her first long trail race. Jeri, out with a big ankle sprain, was great to have there in support.
Freezing at the start
Not interested in stripping to running clothes
Bad traffic on first hill
Bo in white cap on right with Susi behind in orange
Glad to be done
No 40 miler for Charlie, though it was cool he and Vonda stuck around after her 8 miler
