Blue Water Pdlr: I did the devils backbone one way during MAR last year. It was unbelievable. top of the world. Wish I could do it

ellobosolo: Matt, that race looks amazing. Right up your alley. Hope you kill it!

Flying Scotsman: The ridge nearly killed me last year in the MAR, started seeing all sorts of weird stuff...very pretty there though and also very runable for the 2nd half of the out. Watch out for GRIZZLIES!

OnYourLeft: it DID look right up my alley. there is so much snow they are altering the course. =( race director said it took him 10hrs to do half of the course (25 miles). now it's two out and backs on the backbone. could still be tough with all the snow.

the race director sent me an email that said "there is a 2:20 marathoner coming to give you some competition. he trains with mike wolfe".

i wrote back:
"i'm not sure i'm competition for a 2:20 marathoner".

but i will run my guts out and see what happens.
