Are we go ! It's been 4 month in the making and we are finally got stage 1 of the 2008 Transrockies run over with. From Buena Vista to Clear Creek. Stage 1 was very easy and mostly flat, quite a lot of road portions but this will be the only stage. It was super boring ! I really had no problems with breathing at 8, 000 ft. The lead pack was ready to lay everything out there in a fast 10 miler at 8, 000 feet and some hot sun and they did !
The talent that has gathered for this
epic adventure, amazing runners of all ability's. We have Eric Skags and Max King from Rogue Valley Runner's taking the first day win. Phil Villeneuve and Denis from Salomon Flight crew ran well, placing 6Th.The key to race race is how fast you can recover from each run, so you must eat a boat load of food as soon as you can after a race even if you don't feel like eating anything. You must eat.
Prerace food: Coffee , very small eggs and bagel.
Race food : hand water bottle and one Nuun tablet.
Post race food: at Arrowhead Point Camping Resort had 4 Fajitas and loads of water with Nuun.Positive high : Feeling no pain on mostly a road 10 miler. Placed 8th overall in the GC.
Lows: Seeing early prelude of what was to come.
