The race starts at 6am tomorrow.\u00a0 In between work calls today, I’m prepping all my gear and added a few items I wouldn’t normally have:\u00a0 an umbrella and rubber gloves.\u00a0 Can you guess why?\u00a0 It’s going to rain.\u00a0 Reality is it’s going to pour.\u00a0 Forecast is for rain all during the 32+ hours I will be out there.\u00a0 At certain times the forecast says 100% chance of rain.\u00a0 I make fun of hikers with umbrellas, but when it’s in the 40’s in the middle of the night, I’d rather be dry than soaked.\u00a0 I pasted a picture of the forecast below:<\/p>\n

In an effort to acclimatize, I spent the night before last in Flagstaff and after my morning calls, I submitted Mt. Humphreys.\u00a0 I wasn’t planning on breaking any records, but I made it from the parking lot to the summit only two minutes off my PR.\u00a0 I added a couple pictures below.\u00a0 The cloud cover was spectacular – the sky was completely blue except for right above the peaks.\u00a0 Most of it burned off by the time I made the summit, but it was like climbing into a fog bank on the way up.\u00a0 Next update will most likely be Monday or later in the week.\u00a0 I will take my camera with me on the race so everyone can get a feel for the environment.\u00a0 Wish me luck.<\/p>\n
