Photo of the Week: Deep Freeze

Posted by Dawn - Pink Chick Filed Under: Photos

Well it’s 40 below and off they ran…

Yes on Saturday it was -23C (-9F) but more like -40C (also -40F) with the windchill and still some 71 runners between the ages of 7 and 70+ finished either a 3 or 7k cross country event in Calgary. Would you be that brave or crazy to do it?

    That might just as well be here we just had one half inch of ice. They predict 3 inches of snow tomorrow followed by high winds and zero temperatures.

    No, I would not be able to do that. It got down to 45 degrees here in Vegas recently and I thought it was too cold to do anything, lol.

    Me, me, me. I want to do it. Wait. Did you say it was in Canada. -40 is a spring day in Calgary. When was this picture taken? May? Okay, I’m still in.

    That is beyond insane. I can appreciate the dedication but I would worry about someone getting seriously sick in those conditions. Big props to the people who were able to finish the race though.
