Highland Sky weekend is the best! Sorry to miss it again this year. We love the Purple Fiddle as a post-race hang out. Thanks for the memories!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great weekend!! I was so happy to see that Naya was able to clean up......... I would have been dreading the messy car ride home ;-p
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos! I remember seeing that Golden Doodle at some point in the day. My sister and I discussed a stop at the Purple Fiddle after the race but we were too beat and just wanted to get back to her place so I could get on the road!
ReplyDeleteI love that sign - and I bet it is true - "Beer tastes better after 40 miles!"
ReplyDeleteBeer and burritos sound great as after-race food!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Kirsten! Makes me want to go trail-running, AND visit that cool-looking little town. Also: I always knew you were the kind of person who would give a friend the sock off her foot. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, thanks for posting them! You were right, HS40 is an awesome race, I really liked it, my favorite to date!
