jakob > I'm all ready to do this thing.
jakob > Seven minutes to the start and the first group, which starts at 4PM gets ready including myself. The other stronger groups start at 6PM, 9PM, 2AM Sat, and 6AM Saturday still to be expected to finish between 4AM and 8AM Sunday morning.
jakob > Sharp at 4PM we are off. The first section is a 1.5 feet climb to the top of the ridge.
jakob > We all took it very easy power-walking up the hill knowing that we all have a long way ahead of us.
jakob > 8 minutes into the race. It's still pretty hot despite the late afternoon. Mark Metcalfe, as shown here, is going to twist his ankle around mile 11 but keeps on going and finishing in an official time of 37:56:00. He also is a 3 times Western States finisher!
jakob > 15 minutes into the race we catch a glimpse of where we started our journey down at the little lake.
jakob > Mylinh Nguyen running onto the ridge. She'll be finishing in an official 36:53:00.
jakob > Running along the ridge which has a lot of up and downs itself. At this point I'm talking to Chau (Joe) Pham who lives just 5 minutes from the Ohlone50K with is wife Mylinh.
jakob > Almost an hour into the race we travel west towards the first aid station 9 miles away.
I'm all ready to do this thing.
