I spent most of the last week in Nicaragua on assignment for Trail Runner Magazine, covering (and inadvertantly running in) the Fuego y Agua events on Isla de Ometepe. I placed higher in the beer mile than the actual race.
It was a fun time with some fast people, and I’d encourage anyone with a sufficiently adventurous spirit and a sufficiently large expendable income to check it out in the future. Here are some pictures (all by other people):
In which the author becomes sunburned
In which cool graphics tell you the name, location and date of the race
In which no one has slept much
In which 100kers and 50kers wish we had done the 25k, as the chicken masks handed out as prizes were the coolest
In which some schlub with a blog pretends to know professional runners at the finish line
In which Yassine Diboun carries whip-weilding Sean Meissner in a rickshaw
In which the beer mile has taken its toll
Cool trip! You think Trail Runner Magazine has any openings for a reporter’s crew?
