Race instructions on that one should include the following; Leave parachute at home to ensure optimal Boston qualifier time in the event..
4000 foot elevation drop?

My first aided course was ~450 feet of net drop and a few hills felt uncontrollable. I wouldn't know what to do with a St. George or the Bogus Marathon. Is it real? Sounds very Oniony to me.

Oh for crying out loud! 4400. That's ridiculous. Utah has clearly set a great example for Idaho to follow.
This is all too real, Jason.
I'd do a color run before this.

And the kicker is that it's a UTAH company trying to ruin Colorado:

Was the Pocatello Marathon too flat? At some point, don't all of the big downhill races start eating each other's competitors? Or is there an unlimited supply of runners that are looking for the most-down-hilliest race ever? Does this force the "Your aided PR is more aided than my aided PR" conversation?

Boise has some great race opportunities but this one is a bit ridiculous! This is just a nasty downhill concept, I like downhill running (a skill for sure) but come on!

"At some point, don't all of the big downhill races start eating each other's competitors? Or is there an unlimited supply of runners that are looking for the most-down-hilliest race ever?"
-I think this is a bubble and it's about to burst. Unfortunately the races that get hurt (or fold) are usually the established ones that have been around for a long time. But maybe I'm wrong... novelty runs seem to keep growing...
Does this force the "Your aided PR is more aided than my aided PR" conversation?
-No one has that conversation. EVER. Shhhhhh. Blasphemy, Tom!!!

Jeff - I know what you mean... just keep things reasonable, right? Why does everything have to be taken to the XTREME?

Sorry I broke the code, Jake. I'm still learning over here.
From Jake K on Fri, May 09, 2014 at 08:14:01 from 199.190.170.24
It's OK Tom. You guys don't have hills of any kind, up or down!
From Tom K on Fri, May 09, 2014 at 08:20:38 from 174.58.4.250
No, but we have the same arguments. Ours are about humidity levels, and trailing winds.

Tom: I have started a hierarchy of PRs for my personal use. So far I have "aided" and "less aided." Of course, Allie has the best descriptor, which is "performance enhancing downhill."
I can't wait to move to Philadelphia and run at 400-500 feet of elevation. I've been training at 700 feet for several years now. Think of the nano seconds that will be gained!
