Yesterday Jim and I completed the Humdinger race. It was a 7.1mile trail race uphill both ways. No joke. It was a trail race through the 'hills' which felt more like serious mountains. Steep climbing on hands and knees followed by sliding down on your rear end/knees to avoid breaking a limb. Up to my knees in mud with my hands and legs bleeding it was a solid 2.5 hours of misery for me. Of course Jim finished a lot faster than I did and circled back to help me finish the last leg of the race which included a steep climb up a hill where some guy had to pull you up the rest of the way.
Let me address your questions:
Yes, it was ridiculous and yes I finished.
No, I will never do it again.
Yes, my legs feel like bricks today and it is difficult to walk/move at all.

You are totally crazy- both of you. I stick to cute little 5K's!
I am very impressed that you even wanted to, much less actually competed in something like that. I don't think I would dare.
are you as scratched up as Jack's face? Poor babies.
That is soooo messed up! But, good job.
Wow! You amaze and inspire me!
