20 years ago today. I closed out the month (06/29/2000) with a trip to Greensboro NC to take part in the “Take pride in your hide” 5k race. Seems like a long way to go for a 5k cross country race but this one had bonus points in the Hockomock Swamp Rat series since it was a clothing optional race. This was the first HSR series and I was determined to win it (later in the year I’d do 2 marathons in six days for more bonus points). The race was managed by Gary Butts, what a perfect name for this race! It was hot and humid and not wearing clothes didn’t help with that. I took the win in 15:45 setting a course record (and later being dubbed by Runner’s World as the “fastest nude XC runner in the USA”).
