97F -> 88F.  Whew, these things are getting harder...both the courses and the temperatures.  Pretty well-paced again, moved up 3 spots in the second half of the race.  This was the most technical so far - feet feel bruised up a little thanks to all the jagged rocks.  My shoes have a rock plate but not a very substantial one I guess!  ow

Nicely done! That's some crazy heat, hopefully it was a beautiful night. Have you tried Salomon's trail shoes? I tried one, the Wing XT maybe(?) that was really stiff and excellent for rocks. Gave me a blister on the side of my foot so I took them back, but I wish my Brooks Cascadias were a bit more stiff.

I am not sure I could have even finished let one raced in those temps. You are one tough runner brah. Vibrams for rocks.

You're obviously in the toughest age group! These runs seem hard to me and all I have to do is read the race reports!
