South Texas wilderness and no bloggers in site, can make it difficult to get the word of progress out to the rest of the world!
Leave it to a Pirana to persevere. Brother Mav, did his deed, in spite of his pending illness in a time many of us would envy. Mav finished his 100K (63 miles) in a fine 14 hour and 4 minute effort.
Mav’s infamous battle with blisters was tamed this year by the use of an ever trusty roll of duct tape. (Inset pic is a sample of what can happen when he doesn’t tame the beast)
Mav’s post race text messages declared a few things, amongst them that the course was awesome but tough (and he knows a thing or two about a tough course), and that he expects the entire Pirana clan to show for the 2010 event!
Way to go Mav, John, Steve, and Henry (fellow OTRA members) and Ellen and Nancy, that toughed out the course. All OKC trail runners completed their respective races and head home with their own stories of the day!
