The Rattlesnake Ramble (Rumble)

Contrary to popular belief, no rattlesnakes were harmed, or even involved for that matter, at this past weekend's Rattlesnake Ramble. The 4.1 mile "ramble" through the woods was anything but that. Ups, downs, twists, turns, 850 feet of elevation gain mostly in one fell swoop, the Ramble had it all, and Kevin, who trained two days a week over the course of two weeks, bested all but 13 of the impressive array of athletes in attendance.

Looking fresh at the half-way point.


I have been forbidden to post the shirtless photo of Kevin streaking across the finish line (not streaking in the 70's sense mind you) so this fully clothed, post-race (note the very large smile) photo will have to do.


Please note that while Kevin's head appears abnormally large in this photograph, it was only a temporary effect caused by rapid elevation gain. His head has since returned to its normal size.
