Prospect Mt Road Race: 5.6 miles; elevation gain - 1601 ft.

Long Shots and "g" returned to Lake George for another uphill run. Long Shots' objective was to run this race somewhat slower then other years - under 1:02:00 (1:02:00?); "g" was planning to make this another Wakely Ultra training run by trying to beat his time of 2 years ago (59:38) and then jog back down to the start line for a total of 11.2 miles. And... again, "g's" daughter ("a") would meet them at the top by walking the course. They would then get a ride back to the start line (except for "g") by Long Shots' wife, Anne ("a2").

Aughhhh... but, this year... the Runners with Sole would be running with Wonder Boy... "a's" high school squeeze. A wispy, funny, backpacking, running type of guy, Wonder Boy showed up in red racing flats drenched in fluorescent orange flames ripping up, over and around each shoe, and a purple cape flowing down to his ankles. "a" was so proud.

For this event, G-WeB made the mistake of contracting "a" to be our staff photographer. The mistake? Well... 269 of the 272 pictures she shot were of her boyfriend! Hey... enjoy these pixs!
