Merrell Down & Dirty Sacto!

57:54 5k Merrell Down & Dirty Sacramento, Ca Walked on part of course barefoot prior to race, chickened out & wore minimalist shoes. I only wore them during the race though. It was an obstacle course.

I did this today as well. Tried running the levy last weekend barefoot and it was a total no-go. Way too gnarly for me, so I opted to run in my huaraches instead for part of the run. Once we came down from the hill I did the rest on the beach (and across that ribbed marina concrete... yes... I'm somewhat of a masochist) barefoot. Had a great time! Nice job on the race! Glad to hear other BRS members were out there!
 
I did it all barefoot and my son did it in Vibrams but ditched them after coming out of the lake.

Great time and great weather to boot.

Too bad we missed you guys. Maybe next year!
