[Saturday] 10.19.14 Big Backyard Ultra

Big Backyard Ultra 2014

This is my first attempt at an ultra, needed to say I did not train, because I did not expect to be running it. Karl, Amy and Ivan were all there to endure such an event. Even though none of us passed into the ultra distance, we all had a blast trying. I ended up with 6 loops covering a distance of 24 miles.

Description for Web-site:

The concept is brutally simple. The race until every runner, except one surrender. At 0700 hours, a cowbell will ring in the front yard of the Big Farm. 50 runners will commence running a 4.16 mile trail loop thru the woods and fields. They have one hour exactly yo complete that loop. The trail is scenic, but not exceedingly difficult. It is not at altitude. There are no steep or long climbs or descents.

There is a catch

At 0800 hours, the cowbell will ring again, and the runners who have completed their first loop will be called on to repeat the process. The same thing will occur at 0900... and at 1000... and on and on until only one runner is able to complete the the loop.
