I'm looking forward to this year as well, although it's my birthday on Saturday so I'm considering just doing the Ascent.

Great job on the run and the report....getting ready for my 2nd PPM this year and starting to read all I can...don't remember too much from last year except what type of shoes I was wearing, since that is all I basically looked at...looks like you passed me on the downhill!...guess you were being like a mountain goat on your descent, maybe this year I will try to imagine that....

This sounds like an awesome run - or trail adventure, more like it. Lovely easy-to-read story about your experience of it, and we enjoyed reading it. That one photo makes us see that it's pretty high at one point and wonder if people have problems with the run if they're a little scared of heights.

the grapes were good, except at one aid station, they had seeds! I used to like oranges, until one day the acidity got to me.

I guess they also had pb&j rollups, which would have been great, but I missed them :(

Nice work on the race. I use the mountain goat thing a lot when I'm running downhill. Something about channeling a spirit animal helps. (But I live in Boulder and that's how we talk...)

I'm thinking about doing another marathon sometime soon, probably next year, and will be sure to have plenty of grapes on hand. What a great idea! I've cut up bagels and eat lots of sports beans, but grapes sound like the perfect running fuel.
