I intend on hitting this race. I got destroyed last year as I was not geared low enough to tackle the opening 3 mile 21% grade climb. By mile 4, I knew I was toast. Mile 27 I had both quads and thigh cramp simultaneously. This was the worst pain I have felt in years. I promptly exited the 49 mile race.
This year, there is a 27 mile route. I plan on picking up this option. Camping at the Crabtree Falls Campground makes for a well rounded weekend.
Anyone else going?
I mapped the first 27 on my garmin and saw Jimmy Miller right before I quit and passed off the GPS to finish marking the route.
Tempting-- I'm a sucker for the suffering, but not the camping.
ReplyDeleteI am sure we can find a power socket somewhere for you to blow dry your hair, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteI am sure can rent a cabin as well. Just need to get a head count if we are.
