The course is a beautiful loop, with well stocked aid stations, better than average marking, a finish line at a hot springs, and a volunteer/race staff that know what they're doing. I would classify it as a mountain run, with a mix of runnable trail, along with sections that present very difficult footing. I would highly recommend the run.</span><br />

Ultimately, this was easily my most 'fun' 100. My race was essentially the tale of two 50 milers, that couldn't have been more different. The first half of the race I felt great, and really didn't have many issues. The second half of the race involved numerous issues that all held me back from performing my best. I've since spent time thinking about how to neutralize those issues moving forward.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The most frustrating aspects were the fact that I couldn't shake the issues that affected my two other 100 mile finishes. Exercise induced asthma hit at mile 75, and my right arch gave me tremendous pain at roughly the same time. These combined to turn me into a hobbling, shallow breathing mess of a human being that proved capable of walking it into the finish.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The best parts of the day, were sharing the entire experience with my crew. My girlfriend Kristin and brother Paul were a fantastic crew and my friend Matthew was a great pacer. All of them had more fun than I think they expected, and getting to share the adventure with them made for lasting memories.</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Goals for 2017 currently are to apply to Hardrock, run Bighorn 100, and then depending on how healthy I am come late summer, run IMTUF 100 again, this time in the counter-clockwise direction. Ultimately, I want to be able to finish a 100 mile race feeling as if I executed it to the best of my abilities, and I don’t think I've done that yet.</div>

I wouldn't even characterize this section as a walk, it was a completely inconsistent hobble. arch on right foot was in dire pain, and top of left foot was hurting. cured this with some Biofreeze, that at least numbed my feet for 3-4 hours.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: underline;">fun story:</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11pt;"> upon arrival at mile 96, they tell you that you have 11 miles to the finish. I laughed at this, and told them it was only 6, thinking they were joking. the aid station captain simply looks at me, and matter-of-factly says, 'I've run the course, it's 107 miles.' My watch had 105 at the end of it all. The course is probably between 102-107. ultimately, it's a legitimate 100 mile course.</span>Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10817211247233790359noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109223618911352253.post-51761992928949484402016-04-19T19:22:00.004-07:002016-04-19T19:24:05.101-07:00shaking off a year of rustAfter my last blog post, I ended up getting the lightheaded feeling again. I had put in 3 weeks of solid training, and decided to take a week off. The feelings then essentially went away, with only minor re-occurrences. Ultimately, this seems to be something I'm going to have to live with, in some capacity.<br />
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Over the past 6 weeks I've been able to manage 35-45 miles a week, with some focused longer trail runs on weekends. Two weeks ago, I was able to run the Squak mountain 1/2 marathon, and then this past weekend completed the Yakima 25K. The races have served as focused hard efforts, that also allow me to see where my fitness is. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Having had three significant injuries since August 2014, I'm extremely grateful to be out on the trail with friends again. My focus for this year is on staying healthy, and incorporating slightly less mileage, and more cross training. Biking to work, yoga, self massage, bodyweight workouts, swimming, and periodic visits to my chiro are all part of my training plan. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I intend to update the blog layout soon (I'd like this to morph into more pictures and various route beta, rather than just a journal). Until then, I'll be running the Sunflower marathon in May, as my annual return to the Methow Valley for a race. From there, the goal is purely summer adventure runs!</div>

I'm back! Overview of med issues is below. After a couple of days feeling totally normal, I'm happy to feel as close to 100% as possible. If anything, through this, I've learned how to celebrate and be grateful for each day. Life's short. Our abilities to do amazing things with our bodies don't always last. Enjoy it while you can.<br />

I'll hopefully start to update this with pics/routes/runs, as I return to the trails and get outside more! First race is Yakima Skyline Rim 25K with the old man in April!<br />

<li>Issue: bottom of left foot hurts near the metatarsal heads.</li>
<li>Diagnosis: Nerve issue in left foot.</li>
<li>Treatment: 2 months rest to no avail. 1 month of work with
InHealth Seattle beginning in September. Semi-painful massage on left leg,
along with graston work on specific area.</li>
<li>Results: Fixed issue</li>
<li>Current Status: Ongoing massage on my part – lacrosse ball,
and various activities to fully balance out muscles in leg. Many yoga moves
help in this whole body strengthening.</li>

<li>Issue: Unbalanced, dizziness when I run. Lasts for 4-8 hours
post run. No change.</li>
<li>Diagnosis: Menieres Disease or acoustic neuroma.</li>
<li>Treatment: Put me on a diareutic pill to help body not hold
on to so much water, which helps patients with Menieres Disease. Pill didn’t
help. Then took hearing tests, and met
with an ENT Dr. Diagnosed acoustic neuroma based on moderate hearing loss in
left ear.</li>
<li>Results: Pill didn’t help. Took hearing exam. Met with ENT
Dr. who diagnosed acoustic neuroma based on moderate hearing loss in left ear.</li>
<li>Current Status: Go to get eye test, where they induce
vertigo by blowing hot air in your ear (literally), then MRI to rule out brain
issue or acoustic neuroma.</li>

<li>Diagnosis: acoustic neuroma or brain tumor</li>
<li>Treatment: Get eye exam, then get MRI.</li>
<li>Results: Eye exam showed rapid eye movements that they
thought indicated issue in brain. MRI taken, came back normal, no issues at
all!</li>
<li>Current Status: Told me to see a vestibular rehab PT. I
decided against, and instead jog 2-3 miles 5-7 days a week and hope body
started to correct/re-balance itself. After a couple weeks of this, it's starting to pay dividends and I'm noticing a change.</li>

<br />
I apologize for the lapse in communication. The world is a vast, deep, and full of potential. On occasion, the author can become sidetracked. Ultimately, sidetracked by the unexpected experiences that catalog one's life.<br />
<br />
I haven't been able to keep up the way I would like. No matter, one can always start anew.<br />
<br />
The summer's plans have quickly changed. One fifty mile 'race' that turned into a hike, dotted with forays into paddle boarding, cyclocross, mountain biking, road biking, open water swimming, paragliding, November Project, relay races, music, concerts, unexpected travels, bachelor parties, best man speeches, art shows, museums, and never to be left out, good food.<br />
<br />
I don't know how often I'll update this. I'll continue to seek out nature, life experiences, and consistently throw myself into things I'm ill-prepared for. But I'll continue to post photos, of life, of adventures, and of things that may not make sense.<br />
<br />
Namaste,<br />
<br />
Dave<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Don't trip. It's alright." </i></span></h3>
Patience. While the foot has healed, I've stayed patient, engaging in plenty of other activities. So now on to the fun. If you're reading this, and you want in, let me know. It's the company that makes it fun.<br />
<h4>
<i><br /></i></h4>
<h4>
<i>"It's gettin' real in the field."</i> - Running Races</h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.rainshadowrunning.com/sun-mountain-50m--50k.html" target="_blank">Sun Mountain 50M, May 16</a> - The Sun Mountain races are where it all started in 2010. Last year I missed for the first time since then. It's my own personal 'homecoming'. I'll run it hard, assuming I'm healthy, targeting a 50M PR.</li>
<li><a href="http://imtuf100.com/" target="_blank">IMTUF 100, September 19</a> - The Idaho Mountain Trail Ultra Festival 100 is the 'race' 100. I say that lightly, because I don't think looking at 100's as races makes much sense. A beautiful, tough, remote, full loop 100, that starts and finishes at the Burgdorf Hot Springs. </li>
</ul>
<h4>
<i><br /></i></h4>
<h4>
<i>
"I don't know what the hell that was, but I like it."</i> - Adventure Runs</h4>
<ul>
<li><u>East Pasayten 100 Mile/Boundary Trail Crossing</u> - <a href="http://seekingultra.blogspot.com/2014/12/north-cascades-100-mile-route-ideas.html" target="_blank">Luke's blog post deserves all credit.</a> I wanted to do this last fall. Legit point-to-point 100.</li>
<li><u>Hells Canyon Rim-to-Rim</u> - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hells_Canyon" target="_blank">North America's deepest river gorge (bet you didn't know that).</a> This is potentially nuts, and involves a major crossing of the Snake River.</li>
<li><u>Mount Hood Circumnavigation</u> - Volcano in Oregon. Lots of people have done it. I haven't.</li>
<li><u>Olympic National Park Crossing</u> - Basically, some form of thorough molestation of the Olympic National Park. Various route options available.</li>
</ul>
<h4>
<i><br /></i></h4>
<h4>
<i>
"I respect your pimpin', gangsta." </i>- Swimming Races</h4>
<ul>
<li><u>Portland Bridge Swim</u> - <a href="http://portlandbridgeswim.com/" target="_blank">11 mile open water swim under a bunch of bridges in PDX.</a> My buddy may be having a bachelor party conflict with that weekend though, so this may not happen.</li>
<li><u>Masters Swim Meet</u> - I figure it would be good to go to a meet, and test some sprint speed. I'll feel old. </li>
</ul>
<h4>
<i><br /></i></h4>
<h4>
<i>
"That's that new jack city, boy!"</i> - Other Activities</h4>
<div>
<ul>
<li><u>Mount Rainier Climb</u> - May happen, may not. Kresser practically lives on it, so why not.</li>
<li><u>Race a 5K</u></li>
<li><u>Race a road marathon</u></li>
<li><u>SUP Race</u> - Need to purchase a SUP for this to happen. Would be fun, even if I get dead last.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">I'm sure other things will be added. Just looking to have fun, keep a variety of interests and activities, and include some major long runs. </span></h4>

It's best performed while strapping on a backpacking pack, carrying some water and food, and preparing for a very long day on your feet.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sunday was nothing but non-stop smiles, high-fives, and good people doing good people things.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was my second year sweeping the event, and both years I have had the pleasure of enjoying the wonderful accommodations at 'The Porch' on Cornet Bay. The Porch' is a particular house that has a outdoor porch prepared for all Seahawks games. They have ample seating, hot food, plenty of beer, and have invited us to their party every year. We had the pleasure of catching the prime moments of the 'Hawks game, enjoying beers and good company before we had to get back to the finish before it got too dark. PICTURES OF THE PORCH ARE NOT INCLUDED. IT'S SPECIAL. IT NEED NOT BE DOCUMENTED IN PHOTO.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All in all, a wonderful and special day with the community and friends.</div>

Since early September, my right foot has not allowed me to really run. I tested it out about a week ago, my foot started to feel funky again, and so I decided it was best to take another couple weeks off.<br />
<br />
The most annoying part of not running, is being unable to hang out with running friends. The other most annoying part about not running, is the full realization of how much you miss the pure joy of the activity.<br />
<br />
I recently read a blog post by another injured runner. The author talked about potentially coming back 'stronger' than before. For me, it's not just the prolonged healing that comes in resting running muscles, or even the added benefits of extensive cross training. It's the mental strength. Every day, I am constantly focusing on the future, and reminding myself that the patience I am learning through this, will serve me well in the years to come.<br />
<br />
<b>Training Log (September - Current):</b><br />
<br />
<u>Miles Run:</u> 18<br />
<u>Miles Swam:</u> A lot.<br />
<u>Chaturangas:</u> Also, a lot.<br />
<u>Lifting and Core:</u> Enough to look good with my shirt off.<br />
<u>Pool Miles Run:</u> It doesn't matter. It's the most boring activity imaginable. For more insight into pool running, see below.<br />

It would be reasonable to suppose that a routine time or an eventless time would seem interminable. It should be so, but it is not. It is the dull eventless times that have no duration whatever. A time splashed with interest, wounded with tragedy, crevassed with joy- that's the time that seems long in memory."<br />

<div>
It's how I focused my report from last year, and it will continue this year. What follows are some specific words of appreciation to those I have been fortunate to share the trails with during, and leading up to, Cascade Crest. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*It should be noted if you're looking for a conventional race report, you won't find that here. You are free to ask me for the run-down if you meet me :) Pictures below.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Why?</b></div>
<div>
I have repeatedly questioned 'Why', in regards to running these 100 milers. One answer, I consistently return too, is the community that surrounds this sport. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Matthew A.</i> - A great friend over the years. One of the many things I have learned from him, is to place less emphasis on what someone does for work, and more on who they are as a person. A husband, a father, and a non-evangelical vegan with the occasional passion for cheese quesadillas, his finish at Cascade Crest 100 Mile, was his first.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Kevin S</i>. - A heck of a running partner, and heck of a friend. Thanks for allowing me to eat some of your pizza at Kachess. It tasted wonderful. More importantly, thanks for the training runs. Always a pleasure to share miles with on the trail, his finish at Cascade Crest 100 Mile, was his first.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Jesse L. - </i>One heck of a pacer. He convinced me that pain was temporary, and that if I just kept moving, I would finish. He gave me his toilet paper when I ran out. He scoured the woods for a walking stick for when I could barely take the pain of my foot. He let me sleep for 30 minutes at the mile 80 aid station (it was Hooters themed, though, so I think it was somewhat self-serving on his part). He laughed, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CL6n0FJZpk" target="_blank">pumped Dre and Snoop from his iPhone</a>, and encouraged me as we miraculously <i>ran </i>the last ten miles together into the finish. Thanks for putting up with me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Luke D. </i>- A father, a husband, a multilingual communications specialist, a eventual future pacer of Dave, and an insane athlete. Thanks for your friendship, above all else. He crewed multiple runners, paced Paul to an amazing finish, and worked an aid station. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who is more dependable in life.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Greg H</i>. - As far as I'm concerned, a class act in every way. He paced Kevin to his first 100 mile finish. He is a father, a husband, a bike commuter, a leader, and a writer. He is probably much more than that too. Thanks for your support, and smiling face at Lake Kachess. Please continue to run 50K's extremely fast, just not the ones I sign up for.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Paul T. </i>- Have you ever met people, where when they speak, everything comes out as being positive and upbeat? That's Paul, to me. He could be describing the most depressing scenario, and you would be on the edge of your seat, waiting for everything to turn out happily ever after. Paul finished his first 100 mile, and annihilated the second half of the run. Check out <a href="http://seekingultra.blogspot.com/2014/08/pacing-at-cascade-crest-100-2014-version.html" target="_blank">Luke's blogpost</a> for more info. Thanks for hanging out to see me at the finish, and I'm glad your man-parts are no longer twisted.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Richard K.</i> - He crushed it. I should note, I'm a firm believer that our bodies are just that, bodies. They are not machines. However, Richard is a machine. A consistent flow of 'Why can't I do that?', 'Let's try this', 'You can overcome that', 'Never quit', 'What did you learn?'. He is a brother, a dear friend, and a certified BAMF. I look forward to our next adventure together. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Ian G.</i> - A father, a husband, and living proof that not every BMW owner is a narcissistic prima donna. His family, and more importantly his two daughters, come first. When he speaks of them, his face lights up, and the joy is apparent in his eyes. One day those daughters will grow up and have boyfriends, at which point I fully believe Ian will then become a maniacal father who lives on his stoop with a shotgun. If I can grow up to be like Ian, without the maniacal aspect of parenting, and sans the unnecessary car, I'll be quite happy. He paced Matthew to his first 100 mile finish.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Amie B.</i> - Thanks for the miles and laughs we shared early on. More importantly, congrats on the women's win. I now know that it's possible to chew the EXACT SAME PIECE OF GUM, during a 100 mile footrace. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Sara and Andy </i>- Thanks for showing up pre-race, partaking in the breakfast, and helping to calm pre-race nerves. You're quite the couple, and I appreciate your friendship.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Volunteers, Aid Station Workers, and EVERYONE I missed - </i>Thanks for bringing your smiling faces and upbeat attitudes to the day. I greatly appreciate your time and efforts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
Essentially, this was my race. This community, and the journey that lead up to it, are what really will stick with me. The whole '100 miles in the mountain' thing? It just gave me something to do with my time.</div>

My next adventure is finding a company I can truly be part of, that does something I believe in, and work my tail off.<br />

Elbert, Cascade Crest Training Runs, Glacier Peak One Day ClimbQuite the productive, exhausting, and fun previous six days. Thursday was a climb of Mt. Elbert in Colorado, followed by a dip into Turquoise Lake outside Leadville. I then drove back to WA, in time for the 7 a.m. start of the 'PCT 50K' on Saturday. Sunday was then the 'Thorpe Mountain 50K'. Monday night at 11 p.m., Richard and I then strapped on our headlamps, and began what would be our 14 hour, 35 mile, 11,000 ft (net) ascent of Glacier Peak (one of five WA volcanoes).<br />
<br />
Ended up a week 105+ miles and 30,000+ ft of gain. To say I am tired, is a slight understatement. All rest, swimming, yoga, and relaxation leading to Cascade Crest now.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the pictures.<br />

<b>The 40 Mile Problem.</b><br />
This appropriately describes my race. I have recently had this issue (Miwok, Grand R2R2R, Zion Traverse), where around mile 40, I literally hate ultra-running. Something happens, and I'm reduced to a walk. I question the desire to waste time on anything more than 26 miles, and wonder what's wrong with me. Give me a coke/beer/pizza/burrito, fun people to hang with, and conversation that revolves around non-ultra topics (sports, relationships, bathroom humor, etc.). The conversations that happen when I describe this to ultra-runners and non ultra-runners are as follows:<br />
<br />
Dave: *Describes 40-mile problem as above*<br />
Ultra-runner: 'Yeah, I get that. It happens to me, too. It sucks. You want a beer?'<br />
<br />
Dave: *Describes 40-mile problem as above*<br />
Non Ultra-runner: 'Wait, you sound sane! It's nice to meet you! Let's be friends!'<br />
<br />
For Grand Mesa, the ball of my right foot began to hurt. I started walking and thought of dropping. Then along came Andrea, the local drug dealer. She gave me 800mg of Ibuprofen. I swallowed, and 10 minutes later felt great. I ran the rest of the way, caught up to my drug dealer, and we ran the last 3.5 miles into the finish together.<br />
<br />
I then drank beer and made new friends and we got dinner together and everything ended happily ever after.<br />
<br />
<b>The Race Itself</b><br />
<u>What I liked about the race</u>. It was slightly 'old school ultra-running', that isn't catering to the prima donna.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>No cell phone coverage. So no posting of live 'selfies' (Please, lets all get together and stop this trend).</li>
<li>Sections with no trail. (You just followed random markers in the trees and on the ground)</li>
<li>Aid stations that were randomly spaced apart. (12 miles for one, then 3.5 for another)</li>
<li>Aid stations where you were responsible for opening your own bags of Ritz Crackers or pouring your own water. (The horror! Foods were not put in a plastic bowl for me already? I have to actually fill my own bottles?)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<u>The course itself probably could have benefited from 'Wrong Way' signs.</u> There were many sections where numerous people I talked with, became confused on which way to go. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>My GPS had 50 miles with about 4,000ft of gain</u>. This actually ended up being very hard, as combined with the 10,000 feet we were at the entire time, resulted in a lot of running and truly no hills to work other muscles. As someone who has been doing a lot of vertical gain and a lot of hiking recently, this got to me after awhile. </div>

Sneffels Summit (First 14-er)I had wanted to do this hike last week, but thunderstorms on the horizon turned me around. I got back to the trailhead on Sunday night, camped out, and after a leisurely breakfast of oats, blueberries, and coffee, I took off. I ran to the lower lake, took a wrong turn on my way to the first of the upper lakes, which ended up with me scrambling across a talus field. I stared at a bunch of beautiful trout playing in that lake, then ran up to the highest lake. From there, I hiked over the pass, and followed the markers (and my map) to the signs for Mt. Sneffels.<br />
<br />
The climb was a scramble (class 2 or 3? I'm not sure) that involved me being on all fours. I talked with people on the way up, and they told me to just follow the cairns along the path to the summit. I was so jazzed to be doing it, I ended up climbing some rock that felt pretty difficult to navigate at times, and probably was more difficult than it needed to be, had I picked my 'line' better.<br />
<br />
The summit was great. 14,158 feet. I could see EVERYTHING. I met a guy named Ben at the top. We took pictures of each other, chatted a bit, enjoyed the views, and then descended together. Ben and his dad had just parked at the trailhead near Yankee Boy Basin, which involved a much shorter hike before the ascent.<br />
<br />

<b>Free advice.</b> <i>Go volunteer.</i> It doesn't have to be at a running aid station. Go to a soup kitchen. Do something where you give your time to others, with the express purpose of simply helping. </div>

<div>
-J.R.R. Tolkien, from the poem <i>All That is Gold Does Not Glitter</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Bryce 100 Mile Quick Tips </b>(If you have no desire to read the pending pale-ale-fueled narrative report, that I furiously scribbled down in my journal, 28 hours post-race finish. I take no offense. Some pics below for your pleasure)<br />
<ol>
<li><u>Outstanding course markings.</u> Best I have <i>ever </i>experienced, during night and day.</li>
<li><u>Outstanding aid stations.</u> Plenty of volunteers, plenty of hot food prepared to order, variety of aid station food to satisfy most any appetite. </li>
<li><u>Prepare for CONSISTENT elevation, and for an unrelenting course.</u> The course is littered with short steep ups, or short steep downs. Not much 'buffed out' trail, rather, much of it is loose rock/pebble/sand. Very difficult terrain to settle into a rhythm. Ironically, I found the most 'run-able' ATV road sections occur between miles 45-55, which coincides with the highest elevation climb on the course (9,000-9,500 ft).</li>
<li>The individual at the 'InsertNameOfSaidNationalPark' Lodge will grace you with the coldest stare imaginable when you request to check-in an hour before the actual check-in time. She is not impressed that you are attempting to travel 100 miles by foot the next morning. In fact, she is not even impressed that you are alive. (Please understand, this point is put in here with much careful consideration in regard for the reader and any of their future endeavors, while also hopefully being 'kind' enough, that I live long into the future so that I may eventually settle down and produce offspring)</li>
</ol>
<div>
<b>Fire Pits to Course Recon</b></div>
<div>
We congregate around dryer tins filled with burning logs. Three in total. Small talk ensues, and I talk with a 50 mile runner who has come out from New England. "We don't have animals like out here. I'm not sure what to do if I run into anything"</div>
<div>
The sun rises and the RD screams out that we have three minutes. Now that the sunrise is beginning, I look for Joel. He mentioned he would be in fatigued in black. We had met the night before and shared pizza and stories on running and life. He was a former lawyer, decided it wasn't for him, and went into business development. His next project is purchasing a brewpub in Arizona with his wife, and operating that. We spend the first 15+ miles together, sometimes talking, plenty of silence. Slow and easy pace, with plenty of hiking on uphills. </div>
<div>
The miles pass effortlessly. Eventually we cross a stream, and I follow the feet in front of me. Shortly thereafter, I look up and see about four women, all clad in bright colors, and two men in white and black. I don't remember this section? I ran the first 15 miles three weeks ago. This is easy forest road, I don't remember this at all.</div>
<div>
"Hey! Turn around, we're off course!" The words blurt out without much thought. Everyone stops and I explain I ran this part of the course, we need to turn around. Sure enough, we maybe went a quarter mile off course, even though we had very apparent markings to follow. It's what happens when you stare at the feet in front of you. I get a single 'thank you' from a women in blue. The air's thin up here, I figure no one else wants to talk.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Sprained Ankles to Drop Bags</b></div>
<div>
I'm trying to eat 100 calories every 20 minutes, but I find I get lost in the scenery and minor conversations and while calories are getting in, it's not in the strict format I envisioned. I think we are close to mile 25, a quarter of the way complete. The trail is now a steep, twisty downhill, with plenty of rocks jutting out, sand, and loose footing. I pass a woman in a purple skirt. She's moving well, steady.</div>
<div>
"OW! Oh, fuck!" </div>
<div>
"Are you okay?" I've stopped and turned around to see her bending down to touch her ankle.</div>
<div>
"I turned this about a week ago. I just did it again. Damnit! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"</div>
<div>
I don't know why, but I start running. I can hear her starting to slowly move on it. The trail is now a steady line of switchbacks. Small ups, small downs. This part of the canyon is such that I can hear everything she is saying. Expletives continue to flow. Loud. Angry. Meaningful. Personal.</div>
<div>
It causes me a flashback to 10 months ago at Cascade Crest. A strong pang of frustration and shattered dreams. The 'pop' and the commencing denial of 'No! No! No!', followed by the bargaining of 'You'll be alright', ultimately ending in an acceptance of the particular journey. I immediately think of how hard she has trained. How well she is doing. What this endeavor means to her. That I might understand it a little, is asinine. But I feel like I do. I speed up to get away, as if I can't be around those thoughts anymore. </div>
<div>
The trail continues it's ups and downs for miles, the sun is out and it's starting to get warm, but we are mostly running through forest now. I hit Kanab Creek (35 miles) and pick up my dropbag. A helpful elderly man comes over.</div>
<div>
"Son, just pour it all out, and take what you need. I'll put it all back. You have enough to worry about today."</div>
<div>
Grateful, I ditch my handheld bottles, put on my hydration pack, and pull out my trekking poles. I grab a burrito, a couple Oreos, and take off. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Trapper Rick to Cool Glasses</b></div>
<div>
<b> </b>I now have fully extended trekking poles accompanying me the rest of the way. They provide a significant level of assistance on climbs, allowing me stay upright, and not hunch over my back. The downside is that they are more weight (though, a minimal amount) and take up more space. They also engage parts of my body that I'm used to using in swimming. Triceps and my entire back get a small workout from their usage.<br />
More than anything the poles remind me of Trapper Rick. Without the layover in a small Colorado town, waiting for the poles to be delivered to a local outdoors store, I would not have stopped into a local brewery and met him.</div>
<div>
"You need a place to stay for a couple of days? I have an extra house."</div>
<div>
"That sounds fantastic" I figure this is not something most people would accept, but I have no qualms about it. I'm not living other's lives, I'm living by my own values. Trust people, believe people, invest in relationships. Take chances, you never know what you'll find.</div>
<div>
Trapper ended up showing me the town. I become known as 'Traveler Dave', as we spend an evening going from brewery to restaurant to local craft brewery. Faces are stuffed with above average sushi and time is spent discussing life. Trapper never did let me pay for anything, just asked that I 'pay it forward'.</div>
<div>
The temps are hot now, and the trail has some nice downhill sections that I can run at a nice pace. I use the poles to propel me on some downs, and provide balance on trickier sections. Conversation with a couple runners leads us comfortably into the mile 40 aid station where we grab made-to-order burritos in the heat of the day, then a five mile climb up to the Pink Cliffs aid station (45 miles) at 9,500 feet. I hike this section, as to not expend too much energy on the highest point of the course, at the hottest part of the day. </div>
<div>
I'm starting to get tired, but take solace in the pending halfway point. The downhill begins at Pink Cliffs, and I run that. We then pop out at the 50 mile finish and 100 mile turnaround. I take a seat and a young boy offers to get my dropbag. A couple of guys next to me exclaim they are calling it a day. I see two men laying on the ground about 30 feet from me. One asleep, the other dry heaving on all fours. After a couple tries, he successfully regurgitates a tremendous amount of food and water. </div>
<div>
"Cool sunglasses! You can change them!" The boy is fascinated by the Smith Pivlock's, as I change out the sunglasses lens into the clear lens.</div>
<div>
"Yep, pretty cool huh? Lots of dust out there, so this keeps it out of my eyes. I don't want to lose my contacts. I'm gonna leave this case here in this bag, if anyone tries to take them, you stop them." Nobody is going to take them, but I'd like to believe I'm empowering someone.</div>
<div>
I switch out into a new pair of shoes, and eat two bean and cheese burritos, a chocolate milk, and four licorice vines.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Champions to Darkness</b></div>
<div>
<b> </b>The climb out of Crawford Pass is fairly 'run-able' if you have legs, but I'm still hot and decide to conserve any energy I have left. I hear footsteps fast approaching behind me, and turn to wish the runner well. To my surprise, it's Tim Olson (2012 and 2013 Western States Winner) charging up the hill to go find people he knows that are coming down it. He meets up with some people and heads back down. Shortly thereafter the scenario repeats itself. He mentions he's sorry, but I quickly let him know it's 'ok' and he's an inspiration.</div>
<div>
I come into Pink Cliffs, eat a bunch of fruit and coke, and then proceed down the five mile section into the next aid. I'm able to run most of this section and give and receive plenty of positive feedback to other runners. I then see Joel slowly walking up the hill and stop to talk with him. He explains that he had major stomach issues and is just trying to get through it. He ends up dropping at the halfway mark.</div>
<div>
A pass by the 60 mile aid station involves another burrito, and then a steady climb up to Kanab Creek, where my dropbag is waiting for me. My energy is low, my breathing heavy, and its starting to cool down quickly. I put on my jacket, arm sleeves, and headlamp. I get to Kanab in the dark. I haven't seen anyone pass me yet, but I feel like I'm slowing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Animal Mating Calls to Second Wind</b></div>
<div>
I don't eat much at Kanab, but I restock my food stores, and grab my gloves. 65 miles in, only 35 to go, I'm almost home. </div>
<div>
A couple of miles after leaving the fires of the aid station, I start to hear sounds of what seems like people calling. After more thought, it sounds like kids or more like an animal mating call. I stop on occasion to stare at the full moon and listen. Shortly thereafter, the coughing starts.</div>
<div>
I've had a cough for a week or so now. Same thing happened last year at this time, and the specialist I saw believed it was heartburn, causing throat irritation. I'm supposed to be taking drugs consistently, but they ran out weeks ago and I figured I didn't need them. But now, I regret that. I have bouts of coughing that seem to be triggered by the elevation (we've been above 8,000 feet since mile 18) and the vast amounts of dust from the trails. </div>
<div>
I start to have serious bouts of bending over my poles with a hacking cough, combined with extreme sleeplessness. All I can think of is a bed. I take a break where I just sit down on hands and knees and close my eyes for a short while. I'm waiting for people to pass me, but nobody is around. How can this be? I know I am going so slow right now!</div>
<div>
I'm just so tired. I know I have to get to the aid station at mile 73, but I can't escape the thoughts of a warm bed. After what seemed like a number of small short climbs, I see a fire pit light in the distance and slowly come into the aid station, contemplating quitting. </div>
<div>
I sit down, out of it. Aid stations volunteers ask me what I want and I go with a pancake and sausage. After two thirds of a patty, and half the pancake, I take a couple cups of broth and noodles. I'm still not ready to go yet. I need coke. I drink about 16 ounces, and get up. I can't quit. I need to finish. I exit the aid station, and after a short climb, my legs are energized! I bound down the next 3-4 miles, my legs feeling as fresh as ever, and the section of the course a steep downhill with sections I can run. </div>
<div>
Shortly thereafter, 'shit got real'.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>73 to 82</b></div>
<div>
<b> </b>The next aid station didn't come until mile 82, and I know I'm at least and hour and half out from that. I get to section of sandy trail and the hacking starts again, and I hear more of the mating calls. About five people have passed me in the last couple of miles, some with pacers, most running solo. </div>
<div>
I stop. Some sandy trail is comfortable to lay down in. My headlamp illuminates the bright white eyes of a black spider a couple feet from my face. It scampers off. The moon is extremely brigh. I turn off my headlamp. I can't breathe. Then it hits me, it's not a mating call. It's a wheeze. There was never anything in the distance, it was me the whole time. Everything is happening so <i>vividly </i>now. I see the definition of the moon and cut glass sky. I don't know if I'm having a full blown asthma attack, but I know the only thing I can do at that moment is lay there, and breathe easy. I realize at this point, I fully appreciate, that one can die doing this. I've heard others warn me of that, and always thought of it as some macho comment that was said to inflate ones own ego, like those that relish the term 'Ironman' or 'Tough Mudder'. But at that moment, I felt extremely stupid for not taking that comment seriously. <i>I'll remember that moment, that moon, that sand, the rest of my life.</i> </div>
<div>
Nobody is coming along with an inhaler. Nobody is coming along to carry me to an aid station. I am going to lay here, focus on breathing, and then start moving again, eventually. It will pass.<br />
That is exactly what happens. After about 15 minutes I get back up and start trekking to the aid station. I get passed by more people, and after what seems like an eternity, I come into Proctor Aid.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>82-91</b></div>
<div>
<b> </b>"It's about 3:30 am"</div>
<div>
"Ok. Can I have that entire bottle of Coke?"</div>
<div>
"Sure, you're looking good."</div>
<div>
"Eh, just gonna get to the finish. I want to drop. But, I'm not"</div>
<div>
"Anything else?"</div>
<div>
"What do you have for hot food."</div>
<div>
"Dutch oven potatoes with bacon."</div>
<div>
"Please."<br />
As I leave, I hear three voices, all different. 'Good luck', 'Good job', 'Way to go'. I look back, to the other end of the fire. Three runners lay in cots, covered by blankets, packs and bottles beside them.</div>
<div>
I run to warm up. A half mile in, this stops, as the trail seems to painstakingly go straight up, and I'm leaning on my poles to climb around and over rock, through sand, and up a hill that doesn't seem to end.</div>
<div>
The remaining miles simply pass. I seem to be simply passed by many. Then the sun begins to rise. The sky turns a dark blue to the east, and I trudge on through the trail. I continue to move, though, and use my poles to prop me up as I climb down sections of trail that seem much more technical than they truly are.</div>
<div>
The sun rises quickly and I'm soon out of the forest and into a section of hoodoos. Breathing is becoming more labored and my wheeze is getting more pronounced. The mating calls are getting serious now. Animals are in heat, desperate, and driven to procreate. I take a seat and pull down my arm warmers, remove a thermal layer and tie it around my waste and stare off into the distance.</div>
<div>
There is a kid, jeans and striped shirt, a couple hundred yards away blowing on flowers. Weird. It's not a kid. It's not happening. But does it ever look like its happening. I'm sitting here staring at it, and I know that's not a kid. But, man, that looks like a kid. This is weird. I eat more, drink more, and talk a salt pill. </div>
<div>
A runner comes along, clad in black and a white buff. He takes a seat next to me.</div>
<div>
"I've got the wheeze too. I was thinking it was something else until I realized it was me." Dan's English accent takes my mind off the strange kid who is still blowing at the same damn flower.</div>
<div>
"Join the club. It's weird."</div>
<div>
"I haven't seen anyone in forever."</div>
<div>
We get up, and decide we are only a couple miles from the last aid station. Dan gets in front of me, but explains he'll see me at the aid. I arrive shortly thereafter, and sit down next to him. We decide to go into the finish together. Grilled cheese, coke, bacon, and three gels for the road (I'm out of food).</div>
<div>
"What place are we in?" Dan asks. I'm expecting somewhere in the 50's.</div>
<div>
"We've only had about 24 people come through, haven't seen anyone in awhile" Explained the worker.</div>
<div>
Jaws collectively drop. We are looking at a finish time in 29 hours. Neither one of us thought we would be anywhere close to the 20's. 160 started. Dan mentions he saw a lot of people dropping at the last aid station.<br />
"I have a flight to catch, lets go."<br />
"I'm ready."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Ditching Ego</b></div>
<div>
<b> </b>A mile into the final section we are hot. The sun is up, beating down on us again. No clouds, and the layers we had to keep us warm are now being shed in the shade of some small trees. We discuss life. We walk as fast as we can. Estimating that the final section will take us two and a half hours, we take intermittent breaks to sit down. I stomach my first gel. The sun is now annoying.<br />
Both our knees are bugging us. Dan provides a bag of Ibuprofen to dull the pain. He offers me some sunscreen. I'm already burnt and bluntly decline. He doesn't want to eat anymore.<br />
We know that once we finish the hoodoo section, we have 2 short miles along some flat forest road to the finish. We remember there is a bend we come around that then shoots into the forest road. But every bend is a 'false finish'. We then approach a section we think is it, Dan in the lead.<br />
"FUCK. THIS ISN'T IT. FUCK THIS." It's an angry English accent.<br />
"Damnit. I hate this course. This is no fun. Fuck me."<br />
"This is not a fun 100."<br />
"Agreed. I want a fun 100. I want one section where I can get a damn rhythm."<br />
We sit. I pull a muscle in my left leg, trying to sit. We get back up, and shortly thereafter enter the forest road. We encounter a mountain biker who heaps praise on us. Cheers us on. It goes in one ear, and out the other. We provide him smiles but our minds are on the finish. We speed walk the final two miles. Get passed by someone along the final straightaway.<br />
"Do you want to try and jog, we can probably hold him off?" I ask.<br />
"Fuck no. If you want you can."<br />
"Nope, who cares? We are going in together, that's the only thing that matters. Lets run the final portion after we cross the cow grate."<br />
"Sounds good."<br />
The finish is simply stopping in front of the time clock. We shake the RD's hand and sit down. He brings us ice cold glasses of Ginger Ale and Coke. No tears are shed. No uncontrollable emotions. No pomp and circumstance. I'm happy to have finished with Dan. I reflect on the fact, that much as in life, if we have someone with us, to truly understand and share our experiences, we've won more than we could ever imagine.<br />
<br />
A lot of people call me a runner, and I don't know if I've been keen on that label. I spend more time hiking, reading, dreaming and being completely honest with myself, the most fun I had all week was a full day rafting trip. But, running has become my vehicle to the outdoors. It's allowed me to explore realms, internally and externally, I otherwise would not have. I'm okay with it. </div>

When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked. Four hoarse blasts of a ship's whistle still raise the hair on my neck and set my feet to tapping. The sound of a jet, an engine warming up, even the clopping of shod hooves on pavement brings on the ancient shudder, the dry mouth and vacant eye, the hot palms and the churn of stomach high up under the rib cage. In other words, I don't improve; in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable. I set this matter down not to instruct others but to inform myself.<br />
When the virus of restlessness begins to take possession of a wayward man, and the road away from Here seems broad and straight and sweet, the victim must first himself a good and sufficient reason for going. This to the practical bum is not difficult. He has a built-in garden of reasons to choose from. Next he must plan his trip in time and space, choose a direction and a destination. And last he must implement the journey. How to go, what to take, how long to stay. This part of the process is invariable and immortal. I set it down only so that newcomers to bumdom, like teen-agers in new-hatched sin, will not think they invented it.<br />
Once a journey is designed, equipped, and put in process, a new factor enters and takes over. A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from all other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness. A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us. Tour masters, schedules, reservations, brass-bound and inevitable, dash themselves to wreckage on the personality of the trip. Only when this is recognized can the blown-in-the-glass bum relax and go along with it. Only then do the frustrations fall away. In this a journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you can control it. I feel better now, having said this, although only those who have experienced it will understand it."<br />

<br />
<b>Oregon</b> - Spent the night with my buddy Adam and his fiance, drinking beer and exploring the new town they are now homeowners in.<br />
<br />
<b>California</b><br />
<ul>
<li><b>Crescent City and Redwoods National Park</b> - camped out in some backcountry spot for free after consulting with the Rangers when I got into town. The spot was right near the mouth of where the Klamath river meets the Pacific Ocean. The views were amazing and I hung out of the beach watching the sunset. I then proceeded to sleep for 12 hours in my tent. Met a couple of other groups of people my age. One couple that were artists/musicians that were on their way to Washington to visit a friend, and another group of guys that were down from Vancouver BC to spend some time in the area. </li>
<ul>
<li>I ran in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park amongst some of the most beautiful forest I've ever laid my eyes on.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>San Francisco </b>- I got to stay with my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins in San Fran for about five days. My Mom also flew out as well. Spent time hanging with family and enjoying the nice weather, while doing some prep for pending Utah adventures. Luke hung out the night before Miwok and we enjoyed a pasta dinner, while my family proceeded to ask him a just a couple<i> </i>of questions about his life. </li>
<ul>
<li>Miwok 100K was a DNF. Why? Legs felt dead from essentially mile 6, and I wasn't having fun. What did I do well? I pushed it to mile 41 while really feeling like crap (convincing myself everything was alright), then walked to the next aid at 48 and decided to just call it. What did I learn? Once and awhile you will have bad days. Don't over-think them. Focus on the positive and what the core components are to consistently performing at your best. Rest, nutrition, hydration, electrolytes, and pace, in particular with ultras.</li>
<li>Got out for a hike up and down the Dipsea steps before I got back on the road. Highly recommended hike if you have the time in the area. A ton of history behind those steps.</li>
<li>Stayed a night on some BLM land near Lake Isabella, boondocking, on my way down to Utah. Free camping is the way to go.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Zion - </b>Met up with Richard and Candice near Zion.We found some land that we thought was BLM, but ended up being privately owned, per the local man who came to inform us this is quite a strange manor. Met some other guys from Ohio that had quit their jobs and were now spending time in Zion climbing mountains and enjoying life. </li>
<ul>
<li>Canyoneered the 'Subway' with Richard and Candice, and Echo Canyon with Richard.</li>
<li>Climbed up North Guardian Angel with Richard and Candice.</li>
<li>Ran to Angel's Landing and the Emerald Pools. Met a individual that would be at Bryce 100 cheering on a friend and got his card, so we might be able to meet up at the race.</li>
<li>Zion Traverse with Richard. Might be the most beautiful run I've ever done. Start at 6:15 a.m. and ran east to west, finishing in about 10 hours 45 minutes.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.wilddefined.com/2014/05/rock-climbing-scrambling-trail-running.html" target="_blank">Candice's Blog Post with Pics</a></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<b>Reflection</b><br />
I've had obviously lots of time to reflect and enjoy some beautiful places and once in a lifetime activities. It's really interesting how many other people that I have met that have
done the same as me, forgoing a 'job' to listen to their passions and
pursue what they enjoy.<br />
Most of all, I'm pursuing the passions I have, and reflecting on what's really important in life. Surround yourself with positive, forward thinking, happy people, and you tend to start to become more that way yourself. Listen to your gut, to what drives you, to those that energize you, and stay forward thinking.<br />
Until next update...<br />

After completing this race twice, I'm convinced that with adequate preparation, it's a much more enjoyable experience.<br />
<br />
<b>The Course</b><br />
It's truly more of a <i>power hike-hike-run-controlled fall</i> that is repeated three (3) more times. There is no shade, unless the clouds are out. It's normally pretty cool to start (40's) and warms up (60's to 70's) as the day progresses. The trails have lots of loose rocks, and some of the climbs/descents are so dusty and steep, I ended up sliding down of my butt when losing traction. Apparently there can be rattlesnakes out, but I don't believe I saw any. I did end up hopping over a snake right near the train tracks at the finish, but from the quick glance I got of its body, it didn't seem fat enough to be a rattler.<br />
<br />
Only three (3) aid stations for the race, at 8/15/23 mile markers. A little wind on the ridges at times.<br />
<br />
<b>The After Party</b><br />
This really is what should make you want to do this race. The run is only half the fun.<br />
<br />
Fresh made pizza at the finish (vegan and gluten free options). Plenty of soda, juice, lemonade. Pie, cookies, candies, chips. Kegs of beer and bottles of beer. Live music. Shoot the shit with other runners.<br />
<br />
<b>My Race Experience</b><br />
My friend Kelsey was running her first 50K, so I started off with her in the towards the back of the pack. After about 5 miles with her, I told her I had to up my pace a bit and wished her well (She ended up finishing, and that's a major accomplishment, I can't imagine many people making <i><b>this race</b></i> their first 50K!).<br />
<br />
I was actually able to maintain a pretty steady pace the entire way until the end. I wanted to keep a level head, and was able to offer words of encouragement to pretty much everyone I saw coming into the turnaround, and everyone I saw on the climb up after that. I tried to stay within myself on the climbs and descents and never really had a 'low' spot.<br />
<br />
Of note, food didn't really appeal to me after the turnaround. I got to the point at mile 12 where I realized I didn't want to chew anything anymore, which meant that I needed to either a) choke down food, b) drink soda, c) don't eat. I chose to drink soda (knowing I needed calories), and choke down food as I could stomach it. Food intake as follows:<br />
<br />
<b>Miles 5-8</b><br />
Pull of Chocolate Haze Pocketfuel from my softflask.<br />
<b>Miles 8-15</b><br />
Two PBJ quarters<br />
S!Cap<br />
Cascade Farms Organic Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bar<br />
Pull of Chocolate Haze Pocket Fuel from my softflask.<br />
<b>Miles 15-23</b><br />
S!Cap<br />
Two PBJ quarters<br />
Two cups of Ginger Ale<br />
Half of Granola Bar<br />
<b>Miles 23-Finish</b><br />
S!Cap<br />
Three cups of Soda (Mountain Dew, Ginger Ale, Coke)<br />
Pull of Chocolate Haze Pocket Fuel from my softflask.<br />
<br />
Also of note, the minimal aid stations didn't bother me, I only drained both my 20oz bottles once. Never peed during the race, but kept a steady level of hydration. I've got to the point in 50K's where I'm able to keep myself hydrated enough during the race, knowing I can take on additional fluids, if needed, at aid stations or at the finish.<br />
<br />
Ended up 19th in 6:22:40, which was better than my 2012 experience. That run capped a 80 mile week with 19,000 feet of gain. Body feels injury free...for now. Now a little bit of a taper into Miwok on May 3rd.<br />
<br />
<b>In Closing</b><br />
Props to everyone out there. The community in this sport is filled with so many cool, positive people. Lots of people had great races, regardless of finish time. Thanks to <a href="http://ultrasignup.com/results_participant.aspx?fname=Matt&lname=Campbell&age=30" target="_blank">Matt </a>for carpooling us over, and <a href="http://ultrasignup.com/results_participant.aspx?fname=Carl&lname=Swedberg&age=37" target="_blank">Carl </a>and <a href="http://ultrasignup.com/results_participant.aspx?fname=Kevin&lname=Smythe&age=33" target="_blank">Kevin </a>on great company.

Didn't run any of the trails, as it was a recovery day. I may try a return trip this summer to run some of the trails, but it can be quite pricey to get over to San Juan, and then the trail systems are nothing too expansive. The weather was clear with high's in the upper 60's, and I was able to visit Roche Harbor, check out a cider distillery, visit Lime Kiln State Park, and then hung out in the harbor through sunset.<br />
<br />
Next up was a trip to Vancouver, to check out the North Shore trails that Luke and Adam run frequently. This also served as a nice long training run in preparation for Miwok 100k. Can't thank Luke and his family enough, as they were more than gracious hosts for my visit. Lots of fun and looking forward to more adventures with these guys this summer. <a href="http://seekingultra.blogspot.com/2014/04/north-shore-trail-running-tourism-bureau.html" target="_blank"><b>Luke's blog post with photos is here.</b></a><br />

<br />
Potentially, in time, that could be the case.<br />
<br />
Running has taken me to some cool spots in the PNW. Orcas Island, Cougar Mountain, Mt Si, Little Si, parts of Teneriffe, Discovery Park, and the Yakima River Canyon. Future plans include a Zion Traverse, running some of Lake Tahoe, and a Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim. Epic bucket list stuff.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://seekingultra.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Luke </a>and I often talk about the value in looking at training in 8 or 9 day periods, as opposed to the standard 7 day range. It gives you a slightly larger sample size to determine how your training is currently progressing.<br />
<br />
Anyways, my 9 day range ended up being about 80 miles with 22,000 ft of gain, so I'm particularly happy about that. Took a couple easy days to let the body recover. Pics for your enjoyment.<br />

The weather was windy, with some sleet and rain, as we tried to stay warm in the car. After deciding to put on a pair of leggings under my shorts, we were off around 9:30 am. As the weather was nice, with forecasts for a rainy afternoon, I decided I would take most of my pictures the first half of the race.<br />

The run started out on road for about a mile, and then began a climb up onto the Wicklow Way. The sun had crept out from the clouds and offered ideal views of the countryside. The first sustained climb was all run-able, and eventually got onto some sandy 'forest road' that flattened out for bit at the top. </div>

The first descent started with some uneven rocks, that provided some technical terrain and slowed me down. (Ever since my sprain at Cascade, I've kept it slow and easy when navigating technical terrain). Then you hit nice wide trail that was a constant descent into the first aid station. From there the trail went down along a stream that had some muddy patches. But most of the trail was wide and very run-able.<br />

About this time I had some of my first encounters with some friendly runners and aid station volunteers. I ran with one guy and introduced myself. He mentioned he was running this race for the first time, but it took me a couple of 'excuse mes' to figure out what he was saying. Some of the local accents were so strong, I couldn't make out what was being said.<br />

I then got the the aid station at a parking lot (7-11 miles in, not sure exactly), and made a quick stop for some water and to see what was at the table (I had a full pack and all my calories with me, so no aid would be necessary). Mars bars were plentiful, and then a plate of some sugar colored candies. I grabbed a couple of the candies and the following conversation began with a pretty vibrant aid station volunteer.<br />
<br />
"What are these?"<br />
"Gummy Babies"<br />
"What are that those?"<br />
"Did you just ask what are Gummy Babies?"<br />
"Yes...sorry, I'm not from here"<br />
"Oh, why its sugar, <i>darlin'!"</i><br />
<br />
Verdict on Gummy Babies: candies that are basically soft jelly that are covered in a powered sugar and shaped like babies. Don't know if I would do them again. They kinda melt in your mouth, if you dig that.</div>

After that aid station began the final climb of the out and back. The sun was out, and as we head up the mountain, a lot of the footing was extremely thick mud. My shoes quickly became covered in it and at times literally were like ice skates. Then about halfway up the climb, I experienced the strongest winds ever during the a race.<br />
<br />
I began to power hike the climb, as when I ran up, the wind actually blew back and up. I made more progress keeping my feet low and on the ground. I built up a fairly efficient power hike, and actually hiked by a runner who was running the climb. At the top of the climb, the run leveled out onto structure that was essentially two boards put together, with wire and 'staples' to allow for traction. Beside this 'boardwalk' were bogs. Some of the bogs were just uneven ground, some was shin deep pools of water. The wind was incredibly intense on the top of the ridge the boardwalk went over. I was blown off twice into some bogs, completely soaking me to the shins. I had to literally lean completely into the wind to maintain balance and I felt like my Patagonia Houdini was going to be ripped off my body.<br />

After getting off this boardwalk, we were treated to beautiful views of a lake below. At this point I also got to see my parents as they had made their way to this ridge. The run then took a left down some forest road and as I approached the turn around, the 25K runners had just started. I stayed to the outside as this massive pack took off up the road, knowing I would catch the back of the packers on the boardwalk.<br />

After the halfway point I stopped taking pictures and went into 'race mode'. Running the ups as much as possible and maintaining a steady pace on the downs. The wind was just as bad up on the ridges, but after that everything was comfortable. I encountered some rain, and some sideways sleet for periods on the way back, but nothing that was too bad. Ran the last climb, and then the run finished on the road leading back to the pub.<br />

5:18 for 19th place. My Suunto came out with about 32 miles and 7,400 ft of gain. Really cool, handmade, finisher's mug given to all at the finish.<br />

I liked my base of 50-60 miles a week and decided to just stay in that range.<br />
<br />
Cross training and recovery included more swims, some weight work, and a day of downhill skiing. Didn't run much in Europe, but walked A TON. I spent more time on my feet walking, than I spent on my feet running, in previous weeks!<br />
<br />
Ready for 6-8 weeks of hard training leading up to Bryce 100. Body feels good and healthy. I'll be running Yakima 50K, along with Miwok 100K, but don't plan extreme tapers for those (will still run plenty of easy miles leading up). Looking at those as 'B' races, with Bryce and Cascade as my 'A' races.<br />
