Ice Age 50 Mile Report

Another picture of folks mulling around aimlessly before the start of another trail run event. This was the 26th annual Ice Age 50 Mile Trail Run held in Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine Forrest, just outside of Eagle, WI.

The gentleman standing undern the "R", in the white shirt, head down, with his back to the camera is none other than Bob Michael. He was Buzz Daddy's little league teammate (Mets) back in the day. Then just a few years later we would race each other in area track meets. And now, many (many) years later, we're still running amok on hill and dale at silly events like this. Sure gives credence to the old saying..."the more things change, the more they remain the same."

Buzz Daddy successfully completed 50 miles with better than expected results. After 8 hours and 39 minutes on the trail, he placed 35th out of 242 runners and 6th in his age group. No injuries and no lost toe nails. Life's good. Life's very good.
