Subject: RE: Savageman HIM : Official ThreadYep - definite barefoot runner. In one of my more lucid moments, I saw it and thought I was halucinating. But the look of utter disbelief on the cop's face directing traffic confirmed that what I saw was real. A few other good savageman memories that seem to capture what the race is all about: 1 ) Less than 10 year old girl standing in her driveway on big savage mountain cheering on the competitors... wearing a Hooters tee shirt. 2 ) big collection of horse+buggy Amish (I assume ) spectators on Orendorf (I think ). Here's a parting shot of me doing some pre-race animal sacrifice/dance/chant (we had a successful mouse kill in the traps we set in our rental cabin after finding droppings when we arrived )... but apparently the Savageman god's are only appeased by human sacrifice (me on the run ). ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/5012484564_820e09997b_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/5012484564_820e09997b_z.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/5012484564_820e09997b_z.jpg) ![http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5011843963_c09fde754d_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5011843963_c09fde754d_z.jpg](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4086/5011843963_c09fde754d_z.jpg) |
