I would like to go lighter, but question whether the f-lite 230s would have enough sole support for the terrain. You say you used the 295s. Your thoughts would be appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-19967461938266475872010-08-11T18:40:37.910-07:002010-08-11T18:40:37.910-07:00Scott,

Great course that when combined with the heat makes it feel like there is just no relief out there. Nice job with the time, if I could only knock off a couple hours, not sure how the front runners do it.Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-80268505462933827932010-08-11T14:33:57.393-07:002010-08-11T14:33:57.393-07:00Great race report.

I still think about being on the course!

Once you go you'll know why it fills so fast: the beauty of the course, the people, the aid stations, and the entire experience are beyond sublime. Nearly two weeks later and still riding the Sierra high!Andynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-78395720560345304062010-07-29T08:58:02.786-07:002010-07-29T08:58:02.786-07:00I know exactly what you mean about this race Scott...I know exactly what you mean about this race Scott, I long for it too! I'm an idiot for saying this, but I'm ready to get back out there and try the 100 again already. This race just has it all.<br /><br />Awesome report, and congrats on your sweet time. You can totally take Tim at Ironman. Just don't forget to train for the swim. No manatee action! ;)<br /><br />Great seeing you out there as always. Good luck at Burning River!! I can't wait to hear about it, and I'll be sending you good thoughts!<br /><br />Aslo, to JenRunner above: Yes, the race fills up! This year I think it filled in 3 weeks, which was MUCH faster than last year. I'd suggest marking the date and getting up early the day registration opens.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132576974564001603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-50431116499910905872010-07-28T14:12:32.241-07:002010-07-28T14:12:32.241-07:00Does this race usually fill up?
