EL VAQUERO LOCO

Beautiful 50k course just outside Afton, Wyoming. Race went about as well for me as it could have gone. 9,000 vert of climbing and I went after it. A conservative 3:08 at the turn-around and 3:33 coming back with the 8 mile downhill section all uphill (5th fastest time after turn-around).13th overall with a pretty fast field out front including Luke Nelson who won for the 6th year in-a-row.

Great run out there. You smashed it! That climb back was a serious grinder. Great job.

From Cody on Sun, Aug 11, 2013 at 10:06:56 from 70.103.189.14

Nice second half! That is how you run that race

From seeaprilrun on Sun, Aug 11, 2013 at 10:30:36 from 68.102.189.33

Congrats on a strong race!

From Neasts on Sun, Aug 11, 2013 at 19:27:45 from 71.213.45.142

I'm glad you shook the blahs that you were feeling recently and went out and got it done. That looks like a tough, tough course, but of course you killed it. Great job!

From Kendall on Sun, Aug 11, 2013 at 19:47:52 from 70.196.195.217

Thanks guys.

Neasts: Was anxiously following the posts for Katchina. Nice work pacing Leslie to a successful finish.

From allie on Sun, Aug 11, 2013 at 20:10:49 from 97.126.222.234

nice job, kendall.

From Jon on Sun, Aug 11, 2013 at 22:21:58 from 107.203.52.135

Good work, Kendall. Nice run on the beautiful course.

From Tom K on Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 07:39:26 from 174.58.4.250

Nice Job, Kendall! Did the passing on the single tracks work out like you expected?

From Kendall on Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 09:49:24 from 208.187.252.10

Thanks Allie & Jon--spectacular course. Intentionally left the camera in the truck. Probably gained 10 min by doing that.

Tom K: No issues with passing on the single track with the exception of the turn-around. About a mile or two from the turn-around (and start of the 25K)80+ 25K'ers plus the lead 50K 'ers coming straight up the trail. I was impressed how polite and accommodating the 25K group was. Seems like they must have mentioned something at the 25k start. A bit messy but manageable.

Kendall it was nice chatting with you for a couple of miles. I was also impressed with how nice the 25k'ers were when I was coming down. Hope you enjoyed the day, I might have to get back on FRB and start logging my miles and races again. It has been a while. Nice race, I think it will be on my must do every year now.

From Kendall on Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 11:32:50 from 208.187.252.10

Hey Tyler, looking really strong out there. You hiked me into the dust. Nice job on your first 'official' ultra! Good things to come for you.

From Jake K on Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 12:48:19 from 67.177.11.154

Nice run!

I had to google the course... looks pretty awesome... that's a great area of Wyoming (well, of the world, really).

From Scott Wesemann on Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 13:56:59 from 66.232.64.4

That course looks incredible. I think I might have to get out there next year. Nice work out there, especially killing the back half. That's a fast time.

nice work!
