We are bunking with FeLady for this trip. She is kind enough to offer us a bed, in exchange for which I will regale her with stories and get her all liquored up with chocolate wine.
Threr is a CUTOFF for this one that has me in a bit of a panic. I have 15 hours to cover 50 miles of trail; given that my best 50k is 8 hours that should be quite a neat trick.
RACE STARTS: At 6 am.
First cutoff: mile 13, 4 hours
mile 19, 6 hours
mile 25, 7 hours
mile 40, 12 hours
mile 46, 13-1/2 hours
Finish line, 15 hours.

ok- where's my fancy LINK? :-)
ReplyDeleteNever mind- I hardly blog anymore anywho.
Their map link doesn't work...
I am trying to find out just where in heck this is going to be held!
Should be pretty! (Wildflowers!)
Can't wait!
If you go to their website they have a map link that works, I think.
ReplyDeleteWait... is that right? If the 19 mile cut off is 6 hours, and you squeak by, you then have to get through 6 miles in an hour to make the 25 mile cut off? That right there is a gauntlet!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I meant-it doesn't work on the Old Pueblo 50 site-!

Looks tough...but you're tough, it'll be fine! I noticed the 40 to 46 mile cutoff - you get an hour and a half for 6 miles after you've already run 40? Ouch.
