Tom is an ultra runner himself and really does it right. This last year it filled up sometime in May, which was a first. It is still probably one of the most scenic runs I've ever done, because you can't even see civilization. Take a lot of water, I'm pretty sure that was what caused my problem (see the post about the race). One other thing, it measured about 46 instead of 50 by my GPS. Route finding isn't terribly difficult but i was thankful I was with someone that had been on the the trail before. Big climb to start, pretty much little ups and downs after that. Somewhere around 10,000 vert at elevation (10,000 ft). If you go you will definitely be a contender.Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703787795627484835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028755035467677334.post-48760987594239373962007-12-23T16:46:00.000-07:002007-12-23T16:46:00.000-07:00I was running during that storm as well.
