Bison Buddies and the Newton Nazi






The McNaughton Park Trail ultra race (30, 50 , or 100 miles) in Pekin is always brutal but much fun. Next year they are dropping the 30-mile distance and adding a 150 miler. Insane, but I know a few of the bufaloes will do the 150. Here are photos of buffaloes from last Saturday's McNaughton:

Top photo, Laura Vossman (left) and Tracy Thomas. Tracy won the women's division and was fourth overall in the 100-mile race.

Eric Smith (Mr. Clean) and Marla Luckey (Wrong Way). Marla lived up to her nickname by taking a wrong turn on the race course and adding miles to the already tough race. She still had a good effort.

Danielle Rideout (Double D) and Tony Suttle (Scarface). In a dramatic contest on the Sunday morning ride home, Danielle was the winner for having a piece of peppermint candy in her mouth the longest before it completely melted. I came in last, but I didn't once chew on the candy.

Chris Migotsky (seated victim) is prodded during his effort to finish the 100-miler by Jeff Riddle (left) and Jim Konopak.

Bottom photo, the hands of the Newton Nazi (identity to be disclosed later), who insisted on having the Fig Newtons as well as the Peeps (hey, it was Easter weekend) and other food for the runners in disturbingly perfect order.
