What a hoot! EuroCross is one of my favorite races each year, guaranteed to provide some dirt and mud and lots of fun. The 5K is run as five loops on a 1K course with two creek crossings on each loop. There are straw bales to jump over, one short-but-steep hill, another longer hill, and a little segment on pine-needle covered trail through the woods.
That's me in the background, two years ago, climbing up out of the second creek crossing. This year, the water at the first creek crossing was chest deep! This crossing was waist deep instead of the usual calf deep you see here. Everyone was suitably soaked and streaked with mud by the end — yum!
I even managed to get 2nd place (out of two!) in my age group this year. I'll take 'em any way I can get 'em!

Hi there Debbi
I've enjoyed my visit to your site. I notice you're a bibliophile too. My favourite past time is buying books and watching the collection grow.
Oh, how I love books! I couldn't live without them!
