    Finished the Elkhorn 53K- as per usual, it's a really tough 33-ish miles- my goal this year was to take it easy on the first half and save some energy for the second and finish it. The last two years I've run the 25k, figured it was time to suck it up and run the longer one :)

    Finish wasn't great, about 2/3's back, but fared better in my age group with a 3rd. Had I known, the second place finisher was just 5 minutes ahead of me, the first place finisher set a new course record for the age group- I was no challenge to him :D

    a 50-ish mile two day fastpack into the Bob Marshall; plan was to traverse the Chinese Wall by trail and that at the north terminus, get on top of it (off trail) and take it back south.

    we were making good time, but about 25 miles in we ran into this :eek:
    [​IMG]

    we tried getting on top where we were at (Cliff Mtn- aptly named btw :D), but after two hours of climbing/scouting it was a no go

    so we found a good spot where we were at to camp

    we've already made plans to tackle it again next, hopefully sans wildfire

    Thanks! Looking forward to the next one.

    On your trip to Indian Peaks Wilderness, did you happen to run near Lone Eagle Peak? IPW is just fantastic

    a few pics from this year's Bob Marshall Wilderness Open (my sixth); not quite running, but covering 30+ miles/day in some of the roughest and remote country in the lower 48 :)
