Winter Trail Running Series 15K (9.321 miles)  
Photos - page 3

  After all the runners passed, I biked back towards the start and came across RND Running super volunteer, Jim Pivonka.  Jim goes over the entire route and cleans up all traces of the trail markings.  Here he is whisking away the all important white arrows.
  Jim also removes all the trail ribbon markers and stuffs them in his pack.
  Then Jim says, "Hey Doug, you shouldn't have laid your bike in the poison oak just to take these pictures of me."
Oh no - I never even gave it a second thought.  (I have passed the 36 hour point now with no itching.  Lucked out this time!)
