(More to do with a long weekend and little sleep than anything to do with your race)<br />I thought it would be cool for you to finish out the distances, but selfishly even more cool to pace...I saw the 50k filled up but that you signed up in time, congrats! Looking forward to seeing you out there: you might be a de facto pacer because, ideally, I *won't see* you during my race! Pretty excited to be out on that terrain.mike_hinterberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817872376341966540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593777137946937666.post-6431987115050438072014-01-06T14:26:48.296-08:002014-01-06T14:26:48.296-08:00I've been thinking of running the 50K at Bigho...I've been thinking of running the 50K at Bighorn but, honestly, I might be in for pacing instead. After all, I owe you one for accompanying me on my slow hike around Turquoise Lake and up the Boulevard in August.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00199683291737559562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593777137946937666.post-5018757343143816132014-01-06T13:49:20.597-08:002014-01-06T13:49:20.597-08:00Oh, I know PG -- your advice is some that I'll...Oh, I know PG -- your advice is some that I'll seek out the most! <br />Specifically, training ideas around here, and pacing ideas for the race.<br />I read your report last year and again recently, definitely knowing it's a tough course and goal. I'd say 8 min/mile after 95 hilly miles *is* a lot of focus!mike_hinterberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817872376341966540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593777137946937666.post-34754958019405695412014-01-06T13:43:43.723-08:002014-01-06T13:43:43.723-08:00I'm sure we'll chat soon, but stay warm, I...I'm sure we'll chat soon, but stay warm, I've gone for the 100 twice (1 finish, 1 hypothermic DNF). Last year's low around the turn was high teens low twenties, and the year prior not much warmer.<br /><br />The race is interesting in its dichotomy, starting low and hot, with the middle high and cold. Stay focused. I've had two rough attempts here, but I was better prepared the second time, and if I'd have stayed focused through the race, I'd have gotten my rusty spurs rather than running 8 minute miles for the final 5 miles and still missing out by 39 seconds...trudginalonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960282857443641699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593777137946937666.post-20505677167663699282014-01-06T13:33:29.129-08:002014-01-06T13:33:29.129-08:00First round at the Crazy Woman Saloon is on me!
