Trail Run 4:11:42 [2] 16.0 mi (15:44 / mi) +984ft 14:52 / mi
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...
