Hi Everyone!
We had a FABULOUS day at the Bull Run Invitational! This course is dubbed the "toughest 3 miles in the nation." I found a great description of the infamous dip:
The Dip: “The dip is the centerpiece of the Hereford strength test. The Dip is a deep ravine in the middle of the course. Runners tackle it twice; first, in the second mile, going down all the way to the bottom, where a small bridge crosses a creek, and then climbing all the way to the top on the other side. Then, after winding uphill, downhill, sidehill through woods and fields, the runners return for another crack at The Dip. Down to the bottom again and back up to the top -- this time with 2.5 miles under their belts.”
Kudos to every runner who conquered this course on Saturday!!
