How can a 24 mile climb in a state where the highest mountain is under 6000'
be grueling? What grade is that? .3%?

Greg

The Slickrock Trail probably has 5000' of climbing on it, with the
maximum altitude differential being maybe 500'. (Just WAGs.)

Pfft.

But, but but...you weren't in a race, so it doesn't count!

Good to see you made it out of another adventure in one piece, my
friend.

oh yeah...the w101 is about 11,200 ft of climbing. S100 is 12-14,000
depending on how the maps are read and by whom.

If that were at altitude (>6000'😉 I consider it extensive. Try doing the
Leadville 100 then write back.

last year I spoke to someone who had done both in 2004 and was told the
SM100 was the tougher race.

and the finshing time of the leadville was quicker last year than that
posted by Jeremiah Bishop (ie very fast pro in his hometown) at the
SM100 in a year with good conditions (no rain and not overly hot).

so, altitude or no, I wouldn't assume the leadville race somehow puts
the SM100 to shame.

Bummer, the JPs (juicy poops) are a major drag.

From my one terrible bout of salmonella, it's a more accurate

Now back to your regular (pardon the pun) mental images,

Thank you. Your lack of doubt is the only credential I need ',;~}~

I had giardia in the early 90s, and this is starting to look like the
same thing - off the doc's on Monday with a jar full of kack.

Anyway, a few pics here:

Despite the rather inelegant lead-in, the pics are quite lovely! (No kack
shots included 🙂 )
