I was a little late getting out, and Larry was even later. Kent was on time. None of us started together but we eventually met up part way up the water tank hills. It was a beautiful morning. Larry and I stood around and talked for a while about the 50 miler on Saturday, and about what kind of tree I should plant in my front yard to replace the big dead tree I had to cut down last year. My neighbor Terry Peterson, the one with the beautiful yard, was out so I consulted with him as well. I think I'm leaning towards a Sugar Maple. Last night I did some rough estimating of paces for the different sections of the Squaw Peak 50 and it added up to 11:47:00, roughly 14:00/mi. My stretch goal is to break 12 hours. My primary goal is to finish. My fallback goal is to survive without serious injury or death. Should be fun.
