Hey all!
Just arrived back to civilization in Silverton! Been in the mountains being a hermit for the last week, kinda a love/hate thing. I absolutely love the tranquility of the deep mountains but hate being without my family - very lonely life. Here is what I've been doing running wise:
Monday 6/29: Half moon to Elbert - 2.58 - 11 myles - 5000ft of elevation @10K
Tuesday 6/30: Marshall Pass, Section 16 CT - 1.31 - 10 myles - 2500ft of elevation @ 11K
Wednesday 7/1: Marshall Pass, Section 15 CT - 1.10 - 8 myles - 1500ft of elevation @ 11K
Thursday 7/2: Off
Friday 7/3: Rico-Silverton to Section 25 CT - 1.59 - 11 myles - 1800ft of elevation @ 12K
Saturday 7/4: Hope Lake - 1.51 - 6 myles ~1800ft of elevation @ 12K
Sunday 7/5: South Mineral road - 58 (27:30 4 myles) - 8 myles - @ 10K
TOTAL: 54 myles - 10.5 hours - 12,600 ft of elevation.
The work is done! Might have been a tad anxious this week but I feel good and healthy! I don't like to talk about Hard Rock all too much because I think it's taboo pre-race but I will tell you that I am fitter(?)... (is that a word "fitter"?) than I ever have been going into this race. Meaning more fast hiking at elevation, tempo runs at elevation, and of course the incline.
Well see what happens...

I am feeling it for you Scott! Have a blast! You deserve this!
If you are "fitter" this year that would make me "unfitter" this year. Anyway you look at it, we are going to have some fun!
See you in a couple days Fast Eddy,

BTW Forgot to add... Karl is already trying to sandbag on his website. Something about still having heavy legs from Bighorn. That's what happens when you hang out w/ Kulak too much.
