Shattering the Stoke Meter: Leona Divide 50 Race Report
Dylan blew by me at my mile 19. In 2011, I was almost to the 20 mile aid station before I crossed paths with the leader of the race. He came up on me so fast that I barely had a chance to get out of the way. I could not even get my iphone out to take a shoot.
It was amazing how fresh he looked at what was mile 40 or so for him. He averaged 7:15 miles the whole way.

iRunFar to Sponsor WS100 Training Camp Panel Discussion
The goal for me this summer is to qualify for the 2013 Western State's Lottery. Since I can not run a sub eleven hour 50 miler, I have to finish the San Diego 100 or the Angeles Crest 100. If I was free over Memorial weekend, I would definitely go to this training camp.
Perhaps Nicole will go since she qualified for the lottery at the Leona Divide 50miler.

Vertical Kilometer?
Just read a cool article on iRunFar about the 30 minute kilometer. At first I was thinking, cool a race I would be good at. I have gone that slow at Whitney and the Grand Canyon at times but they are taking about going up fast! I guess no one has broken 30 minute so far for a vertical Kilometer.
This event is popular in Europe and courses vary by length and trail conditions. All that counts is that one climbs a kilometer in the race. Many course are really steep with 1000 meters of climbing in just under 2000 meters in horizontal distance.
This got me to thinking that we could have a fat ass Vertical Kilometer (1 kilometer = 3 280.8399 feet) on the McGill Trail. Start at 5566 feet and run to the top of Mt Pinos (Elevation 8,847 ft).
I am thinking I might go up to Mt Pinos on Sunday the 13th to scout out a course.
