I'm a bit scared by the shoes after what's happened to Karl in them this year. Maybe I'll just run on the roads in them. <br /><br />Brett - it's on the list for sure. Hopefully next year.<br /><br />Scott - well how'd ya guess! Yeah, just a seed of a thought right now. It's a pretty big time and financial commitment, so we'll see, but I'd love to give JK's record a run.<br /><br />Aaron - yeah, no matter how many of these things you do, there always comes a point in any ultra where you start questioning why you thought it was a good idea. In fact I had multiple occasions on Saturday where that happened. Tough day.<br /><br />Mike - see Scott J's guess above.<br /><br />Nick - For sure on the altitude thing, although I felt pretty worked aerobically on that last climb to 11k.<br /><br />Brad - thanks, man. Looking forward to catching up in Manitou. Word on the wire is that you're ready. Good chance I'll be spectating at the top Saturday. Don't kill yourself below Barr Camp or you'll be walking by the time I catch sight of you!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-2425356129431657012010-08-02T12:06:47.680-07:002010-08-02T12:06:47.680-07:00Nice work Nick - REST/RECOVER - Probably see you ...Nice work Nick - REST/RECOVER - Probably see you in Manitou.Brad Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00228005088902766243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-80307511657007144312010-08-02T11:16:00.940-07:002010-08-02T11:16:00.940-07:00I havn't done SJS so I can't compare all t...I havn't done SJS so I can't compare all three. In terms of terrain, would say speedgoat is a little bit harder than HR. Of course the fact that it is ~3k lower in altitude makes a big difference in overall difficulty. <br /><br />At least Pikes will seem easy now:)nmphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486058267340747104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-72635687969954183312010-08-02T10:59:39.713-07:002010-08-02T10:59:39.713-07:00I think it is time for you to step up your trainin...I think it is time for you to step up your training for Pikes Peak. I don't think you did enough last week. Great effort at the Goat. Sorry you couldn't collect those 500 bones, but at least I will be able to spot you easier on the trails if you wear those new Hokas.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984689096096403230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-18094920592700913922010-08-02T09:30:09.922-07:002010-08-02T09:30:09.922-07:00Nice job out there on a big week!
