TIMP TRAIL MARATHON

Fun day in the rain, hail, and mud--epic mud! Lousy first half, just couldn't get it going. Climbing up the Green Monster and Grove Creek I found my hiking gear and just kept it going. Fast downhill into Battle Creek making up some good time to the Curly Springs turn-off. The climb out of there, wrapping around the front of Timp was a mess. Not as bad as the snow year but comparable. I believe the soil has a high clay content as it's sticky and super slick. Flying down into Dry Creek Canyon aid station nearly went down a couple of times in more of a free-fall than a run.

Moved nicely over the ridge into the meadow/rock pile and zipped down (knowing it was within reach and going to be close) just under the 5 hour mark (4:59:02). Course PR for me in spite of nasty conditions--very pleased considering I decided to do the run this morning. Couldn't miss out on the rain and mud.

You decided to do this day of?! Nice! Congratulations on your place and time for such a tough course and conditions.

We were talking about you on our run this morning, saying that we need you to head up a group run to Silver Lake sometime.

Wow! Nice Race, Kendall! Deciding to run this race on the day of the race, is example #459 of how you and I run in different worlds! Amazing!

Neasts: Winter is the ideal time for Silver Lake otherwise it's just a dusty dirt road up to Silver Lake Flat and/or too short of a hike to Silver Lake. The snow is game changer = adventure!

Thanks Tom!

Great race Kendall. We had similar conditions on Grandeur, but we didn't have to go as far as you. :)
