Did a triple summit series with Ku in the AM from Spooner Summit by Tahoe. Peaks are Genoa (left in photo) and the South Camp Peak to the right of it and the Duane Bliss is the one I'm standing on. Decided to throw a 3 mile tempo in the end doing 7min miles and made Ku get tired as payback for saying we would do Mount Rose and then bailing on it.
Then came the death march, I mean pacing. We crewed Jim Milar and Carrie McAdam at mile 30 at Diamon Peak, both were suffering greatly from the heat. It was over 100F up at high elevation. Ugh. I started pacing at 7pm and finished off at 5am- 10 hours about 3 mph. I went through a good bonk with Jim but kept him moving. It was HOT- still in the mid 70s at night! It was a carnage-fest for sure, barely over half the registered runners finished the 100M. Jim finished but with high cost. Glad that we got him through it.
