Grand Tetons 100 miler part 2
He did it!! In 32 hours 32 minutes!! After a good shower, he is looking good and walking normally. HE also realized he did not have any sunscreen when he had a long way to go to the aid station. So, he took matters into his own hands and gave himself a mudmask. The best of it all was that he did not get sunburned and everyone had a good laugh!
Now, we are all off to jacksonhole wy for a visit. Then, down south to Provo where we will stay fr the night before heading to Bryce Canyon
Grand Tetons 100 miler
Gilles is at it again. After a strong finish at Cascade Crest, Gilles started this new one at 6 am. He is on a good pace to have a strong finish. Hans Dieter had to drop at the 50 miles due to hip pain. I believe he fell at Cascade. Hopefully, he can recuperate over the next week aand be ready to do Wasatch with Gilles.
Gilles became one with the dirt at one point (details are sketchy) and he has a nice busted lip. A busted lip however has no bearing on your running ability and he is out there. At the halfway mark, I cleaned his feet, which are still blister free (woohoo) and he changed his socks. He is having a great time.
