It’s pretty amazing to come into an aid station and have 3-4 volunteers swarm you and take care of whatever you need. One will take your pack/bottles and fill them, two more will ice and wet you down, and another will crack jokes. And that’s before you get to you foot-rubbing crew.
But he's past the midday heat and the worst of the altitude, for what that's worth. Still a few more hours of daylight to work with, which could get him to Cal-2.
Sorry, I slacked a bit this afternoon during the Sporting KC game. Was drinking beer, cooking steaks, and deep frying some potatoes.
Definitely a big climb! He took an hour for that near-three mile climb ...and in the process, moved up further from 51st to 46th of the men (although the places are a somewhat fluid ...nevertheless). One more climb before Foresthill, but then a lot of downslope to Rucky Chucky and the river.
Yup Volcano Canyon lies between our hero and Foresthill. After a mile or so of fire road out of Michigan Bluff you drop into the canyon, a bunch of switchbacks on single track. Then it’s a bit of a climb out, on to a mile climb on Bath Road, and then a gentle downhill mile into Foresthill where he’ll see his crew for the second time. And, unlike me, he’ll be there early enough for his whole family to see him.
He apparently told people earlier he was just going for the win, not the record. But he can’t be far off as he should be hitting Robie any minute.
Whew! He isn't currently showing up in the men's listing and I wasn't sure what was going on.
Cal St down to the river is mostly downhill, a few punchy climbs and one tough little downhill stretch if your IT bands hurt. Then you run along the river for what seems like forever, as you know you’re going to cross it but it takes awhile to get to Rucky Chucky. As @tri-man 47knows i struggled through here, hopefully @SayWhat?has some quads left and that right leg doesn’t keep him from taking advantage of some runnable terrain.
Yeah he’s crushing it.
