| Trail Run 2:20:00 [1] 9.0 mi (15:33 / mi) +150m 9:11 / km | |
| shoes: Montrail Lenona Divide #2 |
| tanks alot on race day, though the tank traps twice, to the river helping people across it, then going to meet liz and sweeping the course with her... about 40 minutes of this was an uncontrollable urge to run back and forth by the river to keep myself warm inbetween racers crossing the river.. |
Friday Nov 11 |
| Trail Run 4:11:42 [2] 16.0 mi (15:43 / mi) +300m 9:14 / km | |
| shoes: Brooks Cascadia #1 |
| tanks alot course marking...
probably the most miserable and memorable trail run ever... started at 4pm, way too late, to mark the tank traps, from the junction, and it got dark within 30 minutes of the 4h run.. it was snowing, hailing and pouring on us the whole time, i was completely soaked within an hour, and the temperature was just around freezing....
i ran with liz and franklin, and we leapfrogged to put up the trail markers, an excessive amount as we did not want racers to get lost like in previous years... (which worked, as everyone loved the race and noone got lost this year)
the streams were torrents and we found ourselves knee deep in water sometimes, plus about 3h or running in the snow, which made the going really slow but was awesome to run on... it was miserable but i had a phantastic time and liz and franklins company obviously helped... |

| WIOL #1, Lincoln Park, great course, very strong run, ok nav, one wrong route choice, though it looks like my faster run time was able to cover it up, and 3-4 other small errors.. below 30 would have been doable i believe...
i think i finished 2nd, just 16 seconds behind rick... |
