It's been almost exactly a month since our trip to Colorado but I'm not sure I'll ever get a chance to post something like this again so I'm not going to let the opportunity pass.A brief disclaimer though, I didn't exactly beat out a pack of thousands … or even hundreds for that matter and this is for first place in my age division, I was actually fourth overall. Oh and one more thing, for about two hours after crossing the finish line I could taste blood in my mouth which I could only assume was the result of the slow death of my lungs after racing at 9, 075 feet.
The medal is cool though.
If you've been to the Rockies within the last couple of years, you probably have seen the havoc that pine beetles have been wrecking on the forests. The proceeds of this event went to reforestation efforts and the medals are cross sections of downed pine trees.

Pretty cool.
How come I have not seen this. Another hidden accomplishment. Too much humility, start sharing more. 43
Congrats Craig! No worries about your lungs...you are in good hands...I particularly like slowly dying lungs! Right up my alley. Hopefully you did not inhale a pine beetle...if so, we might have to involve Erin's profession.
While preferably I would like to avoid either one of you, I would definitely rather be in your hands than Erin's (no offense Erin, but your recovery rate is a little too low for my taste).
I agree Erins line of work has little response time!
