What a crazy, awesome race! Am loving these trail races! So hard though. I did a full 26.2 about 4 weeks ago in 3:43, I would say this was easily 10+++ times as hard. So scenic as well. Here is the info for any who care: Miles 1 through 3 were a tough climb up the tallest headland peak, splits: 12:55, 10:52, 13:12, very tough start, especially cold, then a bit down hill into the valley, 7:34, 7:09 (got a nice side ache here) water stop, then another climb up another hill, 13:12, 12:15, the next mile was the absolute best halfway up a cliff face over the pacific, sun came out, totally gorgeous 8:14, then ...hill/steep 13:48, 9:43 water stop, then hell showed, they told us not to underestimate this last hill, wicked, I was actually scrabbling on feet and hands in scree because it was so steep in sections, AWESOME, and very tough, legs about done here, made it to top finally, 17:58, then a decline to finish, wanted to cruise, legs said, "this is it buddy," 9:01, 7:23 and change. Well, my merry tale is done. Bros NEED to come out for it next year!
P.S. Robyn came to volunteer and yell at me to hurry- she ended up cooking eggs for 200+, now is known far and wide as "sexy egg chick!" P.S.S. total ascent 4356 ft, total descent 4360ft
