Yappy Dog Prediction Run

Yappy Dog Prediction Run
4/23/2006 – 8.6 miles
A Scenic and Odorous Run on the South Mesa
Race #4 of the 2006 Prediction Series

As reported by Don Pfost

The morning was calm, crisp and clear. The course was well-marked and included a variety of surfaces–pavement, gravel and dirt–rolling hills, and plenty of yappy dogs. Great eats followed the run.

Runners predicted their own finishing time prior to the start of the race. They were not allowed to wear watches during the run. The runner finishing closest to his/her predicted time was the winner.
