TJ, do you remember Barefoot John from the other place? He did come in last place on one race...a trail race if I remember correctly. Yeap, that was him alright!

Don't forget the 25K.

I watched Jason cross the finish line in Grand Rapids for that distance barefoot despite the 32 degree F temp.

It is, afterall, the main event for that classic race.

And I have raced that distance too (25K), while barefoot, while it was 32 degree F, in November, mind you, and just on the odd chance I beat Jason's time, mine was 2:52:54. Yes, pitiful, I know, but who's braggin'? At least I didn't come in Last! Pttttth! :tongue:

Well Bob, I got news for you, I came in first overall in my very first BF 50K in a time of 5:30.( I was the only one in my house running said 50k on the TM).



Congrats!

Awesome job Dama, 50km is 50km but my time is with a big disclaimer, because it was basically a mud run for 50 km can you say no traction. I was doing more skating than running most of the time, even almost slid off a cliff (luckily there was some good branches to grab or I would of landed in the lake I am sure. Could of been some interesting headlines though, "Barefoot runner decides to go for a swim to wash off his feet." ;-)
