Pine Creek Patriots Rap

To celebrate Stilt's 50th trip around the sun -
She and PBun decided to run 50 miles for fun!
Stilt's training plan went the traditional route...
While PBun trained for a 70.3 if you want the scoop
Would their varying plans get them to the finish?
You'll need to read along to see what they accomplished!
Four rabbits hit up the Pine Creek Challenge Ultra race 
You might remember they did the 100 mile relay as a team in this case
STUR and CBun were in for some marathon miles
And CBun wanted to go 5 extra for fun - no surprise
Stilt and PBun moseyed up to the start area
Didn't have to wait long to start their ultra

As expected, it was a laid back affair...
Took off on the trail to lots of cheers!
On the way to the turn around, Stilt pointed out
The place where she went down last year no doubt

There was also an actual bunny sighting
Tried to get a picture but it was not happening!  
STUR was reminded that it’s a good idea to train -
Or parts of your body will be in pain!
The turn around point for the marathon was very vague -
Good thing none of the racers went into a rage!

On the way back they expected to run into CBun and STUR
But did they ever see them? No sir!!
Turns out the marathon started in a different direction
And they did catch up with them around mile 20 - perfection 

They continued on and regrouped at mile 30
Where an extended rest break was to be had - what's the hurry?

They then joined up with an interesting man who was running the 100K
At 71 years old he had only been running for 20 years - no way!
Turns out he has completed the World Marathon Challenge
They don't think they want to take THAT plunge!
STUR finally received a medal after a long time - hooray!
And settled down to wait for CBun to finish her 50K.

Went to a nice Italian restaurant to rest and recoup
All the while thinking about the rest of their bunny group!

Next they arrived at the finish line to wait in CBun’s car...
Was so thrilled to get a text from PBun saying that they weren’t too far!
Meanwhile the miles slowly ticked away - they did not protest
And looked forward to each aid station so they could rest

Before long it started to get dark, all right?
Thank goodness for headlamps and swag bag flashlights
Other runners seemed to appreciate the rabbit ears
This made them smile and there were no tears!
They must admit by miles 45 they felt done
But still had 5 more miles and there was no more sun

So happy to see their rabbit friends just before the finish line
And the photos they took were just divine!
They still can't believe they conquered that distance
Never say never, says PBun with insistence!!

Meanwhile, Morgan and the Beast were busy earning lots of bling
By doubling up on the Patriots races and podiuming!

KBun was getting in a last long run and ride
Before she tackles IMMD this weekend in stride
Two days later the Pine Creek peeps were comparing notes
About all of the mosquito bites they got – no joke!
