Currahee Challange

Ashlyn and I ran in a race over the weekend. The race was three miles up a mountain and three miles down the mountain. The race started at the base of Currahee Mountain on the Colonel Robert Sink Trail, the training site of the 501st, 506th, 511th and 517th Parachute Infantry Regiments seen in Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan & The Dirty Dozen.

Per the military guidelines, you have to complete the run under 1 hour or you have to run the course again. Fortunately for me, I did not ascribe to those military guidelines as I finished the race in 1:22:02. Ashlyn did much better by winning her age group and coming in 15th overall for females. Ashlyn's time was 1:05:45.

That was one difficult run! It was strenuous to say the least. It is also a race I look forward to competing in next year.
