jakob > Welcome to the Land of Idiots! LOL. At this time I've now run/walked for 12 hours and 22 minutes and covered 38.7 miles.
jakob > The full moon is still high in the sky but within the hour daylight will warm up this place again.
jakob > It's now 7:17AM and I'm on my way down to the Thacher School aid station which will also mark the half-way point of this race.
jakob > Exactly at 8:04 AM I arrive at the 50.7 mile aid station and I am now 2 hours and 45 minutes ahead of my schedule. I feel great have no real issues.
jakob > At 8:43AM the first sun rays hit me and they give me new energy for the day ahead. I'm now on my way back up from the Thacher School aid station to Ridge Canyon climbing 3,300 feet within 4.9 miles. I gave myself 2 hours and 20 minutes to do that (19:43 minute/mile) and I was able to keep that schedule.
jakob > The Horn Canyon, which leads me to the Ridge Canyon aid station, was rather difficult on certain places. I had to be careful not to twist my ankle or hurt myself in any other way.
jakob > Running on top of the ridge I often kneel onto the cold snow which felt awesome on my legs.
jakob > From the ridge I was able to see the way down to Rose Valley aid station which I ran down about 10 hours ago (it's the trail you see on the pic doing down the mountain).
jakob > It's almost lunch time and I'm on my way to the Rose Valley aid station again but this time ran from the other side.
It's almost lunch time and I'm on my way to the Rose Valley aid station again but this time ran from the other side.
