KETCHIKAN — Neck and neck throughout the entire 2012 Alaska Ironjack Championships Wednesday evening in Ketchikan, the battle for first between Jake Justus and Derek Knutson came down to the final event — the boom run.
Or, as it is more aptly called, “The Boom of Doom.”
A race track four logs long floating in a pool of water, competitors had to traverse the course to one end and back. One wrong move, as nine of the 10 lumberjackers found out, and your body hurtles toward water and solid wood.
