It has Been a bit since I have posted anything on there and have ran multiple races and am in the process of moving to Reno, Nv. The two biggest running events have been a 50 miler down by Las Vegas and a the R2R2R at the grand canyon. The 50 miler was the Labor of Love in the Spring Mountains where I placed 3rd with a time of 8:11. My intent was to qualify for WS 100, and that task was completed.
The other was the Grand Canyon run, or rather "fast hike". I would consider this a must do for any trail runner. This is a great run with impressive scenery. The trail is easy to follow though the assent and descent are both not all that runable for large portions due to the multitude of water bars. See Andy E's love to run blog for a great write up. My only recommendation would be to stash some Coke or Mountain Dew at Phantom Ranch so as to have a bit of rocket fuel for the final climb out. There is a store at Phantom Ranch, but these items are not there!
