This Saturday I will attempt the Mogollon Monster race again.  The race is 106 miles with 23,000ft of climb.  My goal this year is 32 hours (35.5 hours last) but I’ll be happy with just finishing.   I am flying to Phoenix on Wednesday and spending a night in Flagstaff to give my body a chance to acclimatize to the higher altitude.  On Thursday, I may climb Mt Humphreys at a slow pace just to get more help with the altitude.   It all depends on the amount of work calls I have during the day.  Friday is much of the same, but I’m moving closer to the start line by staying in Payson.

Tracy won’t be there this year but I’ll have lots of support.  Richard and Ryan are local Dell reps in Phoenix – they have agreed to pace me through 30 miles of the race.  Also, my friend David who just moved to Phoenix will be driving up to cheer me on at the finish line.

This year, I will be carrying the SPOT and pressing the button at all the aid stations.  You can follow me here:http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=00ib6q2j9kEfMaS4ItJptZR5OSRLX3Ea4

The race starts at 6am (PST) on Saturday and I hope to finish by 2pm (PST) on Sunday.

Lastly, I will carry a camera again so I can document the race.  If you are interested, last years’ video is below:
