Tried to do the Grandeur Peak Fun run course, (just for fun), now I refer to it as the Grandeur Peak kick my butt, barely survive, ran out of water mile 7, much too hot,what was I thinking run. 3000 vertical up the first two miles, just walking, next down church fork to pipeline to rattlesnake gulch to some obscure game trail back to start, got off the course somewhere in there but was realizing that I was in some trouble with dehydration and still sore from last weekend mountain bike extravaganza. This adventure took me 3 hours, and convinced me maybe maybe the skyline marathon is a pipedream. should go boating instead. |
