Hardrock 100 Video
Here's a fine video that gives a brief glimpse into the world of Hardrock. I'm in it at the start and at 1:30-ish shuffling across Mineral Creek early in the race. The climbs and descents are ridiculous. Brownie's graceful ascending skills may be viewed at the 6:00 mark…

And, I raced the Table Rock 25k yesterday put on by Inside Trail. Solid course of nearly 17 miles and 4,000 ft of climb. Good little workout a week after Hardrock…
Here's the Garmin data:

Awesome! Thanks for posting that. The video shows why it's aptly nicknamed "hard walk" in a way words cannot express. My favorite part is seeing Diana F bomb down Grant's Pass at 4:40 -- she's amazing. My least favorite part is seeing how shallow Mineral Creek is and how snowless the peaks are -- evidence of the drought from the source. Take care and have a great rest of the summer.
ReplyDeleteGreat vid but no vid or pix can truly capture the magnitude of how fraking big that thing is. I meant to ask, did you delay coming off some of the steep passes to assure you were not clocking anyone with rocks below? It seems like that was not so much the case by looking at the vid. And I still need to post the story about the "only 3 miles to go" girl.
ReplyDeleteAnd that stuff on Brownie is about what the steeple looked like too.
Let me know if you want me to start teaching your hill climbing clinics.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great video! You are crazy!
