Dances With Dirt

I'll be out there w/my husband, we also got nabbed by a team with injured runners.  I think we're something less "festive" ....Team Attack?  I know Ranger Dave will be there too.  Par-tay!

I will be partaking in the festivities as part of the Trail Ramms. Bright Yellow Jersies

see you in the river

What a great event. I've done it twice- I always got "volunteered" for one of the legs with a waist deep river crossing.

If there is a team that needs a runner I may be in for this...

This was my first ultra (solo 50k)  TOTALLY AWESOME!!!  You'll want to do it every year.  I'm sorry I won't be there

Hehe, you should get a jersey with 'fexican' written on it

I don't get it.

We are doing it, too. I am on the Purple Martins (our family name is Martin, my brother is a birder and a purple martin is a type of bird). I am doing all the legs where the poison ivy is minimal. I am VERY allergic to it!

"Minimal" and "Poison Ivy" should never appear in the same sentence when talking about Dances with Dirt!

I'm on the same team I've been on for 6 years, "Shut Up, Bob" formerly know as "Dirt Izzle For Shizzle"

I'm running Rave Run, Styx and the Stupid Lake, as usual....

I am in for the Stampede, This Sucks, and Amputation.

Isn't this sucks the one that removes shoes and is potentially deadly to midgets?

I am in for poto, swoosh and amputation.

Use ivy block. I am very allergic to it as well and when I use ivy block I"m all good.

Robyn- we've got the same legs (of the race)!  (Stampede/This Sucks/ and Amputation).  Looks like we'll be leading the pack.  I'm psyched for this mud-fest, my only two concerns are getting lost and looking like Trixie w/the skin disease from Hell from earlier this summer (=poison ivy).  

Haha.. Our team name is Pine Martins NOT Purple Martins. And a Pine Marten is a weasel-like animal. My brother had to correct me.

Anyways, I am doing Purgatory, Amputation, and Don't get no better

I am VERY allergic to poison ivy and am hoping my legs are the least likely to have it. Can someone please reassure me? I am a nursing mom and would hate to have poison ivy to potentially pass it on to my little one.

I did talk to my acupuncturist today and she recommended something called Rhus Tox.. you can get it at any homeopathic store.. It is supposed to really help with poison ivy if you catch it.

I just answered a "need runner" post on the DWD site. I'm sad that I told runnergirl I couldn't do it. I wanna do it now. Hopefully I'll see you kids out there!!
