Bolder Boulder

Women 's Elite Race

On Monday Eric, Peanut and I went into to town to meet up with Shannon for breakfast. Little did we realize we would have to drive through the Bolder Boulder course. For the last two years, I've only seen the aftermath of the Bolder Boulder. This year, I was able to see hundreds of runners on the course. The amount of people who run this thing is amazing!

The women in the photo above are the leaders from the Elite race. I've been told they were running six miles, and they were hauling ass! It rained quite steadily, but as least there wasn't risk for heat stroke!

After bagels and coffee at Moe's in Boulder, and watching the runners, I had to run off to work. I'm sad that I missed the Boulder Creek Festival this year, but maybe I'll be able to make up for it at other summer events like the Teva Games and HERA Climb4Life! Those two events are coming up so I will post many pictures!

running is way easier than climbing rocks. it is true, climbers have to run and walk to get to climbs but runners do not have to climb in order to run. see what i mean?
